I heard a beautiful lyrical language floating around the station the moment we stepped out of the train after a 3-hr journey from London Gatwick airport. It must be Welsh, I thought, one of the oldest living languages in Europe from the 6th Century. “Croeso I Caerdydd! Welcome to Cardiff!” We arrived in the capital…
