Honwyjojames asked me;
What's your favourite holiday you've ever been on or place you've ever been to?
Second rather silly one because my mum asked me and I wasn't sure: how do I pronounce your mum's name in English? I've been saying it like "geet" - am I wrong?¨
I have been on two bus travels to England and Scotland with my parents.
It was the best holidays I´ve ever had.
The first one was England-Scotland-Wales and was 10 days. We moved along every day so we could see the most of the countries.
We visited some of the most amazing places in your country.
As for Wales, just for you, I was fascinated with the slag heaps that we saw as they reminded me and my parents of one of our favorite books “How Green was your Valley” by Richard Llewellyn.
In addition, the fascinating town of “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch” I still not know how to pronounce it ;) We was there and I got a stamp in my passport.
The second vacation was England for 2 days and Scotland for 14 days.
It was the year before my Dad died. We had a wonderful vacation there too.
As for some of my favorite places to be I have to say Edinburgh, I have been to two Castle Tattoos, that are some of the most epic things that Mum, Dad and I have ever been too.
I also went to two book fairs with many different authors there; I have to see Ian Rankin that is one of my favorite authors.
Glencoe is also one of the most fascinating places we had ever been to. It was a place of such history and a place where we felt committed too.
It was the best holidays I´ve ever had...
As for your second question;
Not silly at all, pronouncing names can be tricky in a different language. If you can make it”giit-e” it will be right, but I think “geet” is a good choice.
Hugs
