The 2nd Of March, one day after Saint David’s Day (Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant in Welsh) was when this video clip was taken. Anna is dressed in traditional Welsh costume. Mum is dressed in a traditional dressing gown 🙂 Hmm, listening to the video again, Irina says it was actually St David’s day when the video was shot, so maybe it was just the camera being set to Astana time (+6 GMT) that has thrown me off?
Yep, confirmed looking at the dates and times embedded in the pictures from two different cameras, and the date and time from the original videos (MPGs), these were shot on the 1st of March.

Any chance of Anna getting raised as a trilingual person? 🙂

Trilingual at home? No chance, my Welsh is non-existent, my French and German is //so// out of regular use that I’d be bound to pass on bad accents/incorrect words to Anna, and Irina’s Kazakh is still pretty elementary.
Anna will “just” have to make do with English and Russian until she gets to school. Depending on the school and Anna’s wishes (when she is a bit older), it would be great if she did learn German/French/Spanish (those /s are ors, not ands 🙂 ) as well, but we’ll see where we end up on that.
