  1. Yes Bendigedig means wonderful. This word is just one of the first welsh words infant children remember if you think of ‘bendy’ ‘ged’ ‘dig’ as it’s pronounced. The reason we chose it for a boat name- well we thought it would be wonderful to be out of the rat race floating around! Yes we are still enjoying life too!

Bendigedig  © Elsie Fletcher 2007

Just as a boat passed us a few days ago the crew shouted “We read your blog”.

“Great” I shouted, “Leave me a comment”.  I tried to look back to catch the name of the boat but it was disappearing out of sight and I couldn’t read all of it and, by the time I went to write blog that night I couldn’t even remember the part I had read.

I didn’t have time for any sort of conversation or chat as we passed on the Llangollen Canal and I thought the contact might have been lost.

Fortunately Elsie from Bendigedig left me a comment this morning so I can now write this post.  I guess from that Elsie’s blog that she found ours from reading the Sue’s excellent No Problem blog.

Hopefully we will get a chance to chat next time we pass.

Now I just need to work out the significance of the name Bendigedig.  I suspect it might have Welsh connections and mean something like wonderful or blessed.
