@DalesTranslator @Lilypadbakery Thanks for the tip! 🙂

[Lottie Valks @LilyPadTx]

@DalesTranslator @Lilypadbakery So I had the Lily idea and then Lily pad was suggested by a friend of mine and it just stuck :) also coincidentally I'm currently on holiday in the North Yorkshire dales, close to Skipton - I see you're based in Ingleton!

[Lottie Valks @LilyPadTx]

@DalesTranslator @Lilypadbakery What a coincidence Matt! @LilyPadTx is named for my grandmother, a Lilian, whose name I inherited as a middle name - I've always loved the name Lily and I didn't want to use my own name for a business name.

Love @McVities slogan in France - "It's English, but it's good!"

Opinion: Brits are so bad at languages, we couldn't even translate the Brexit white paper properly – it's an embarrassment https://t.co/UozEi8JDEN

[Lloyd Bingham - Capital Translations @Capital_Trans]

Thank you @ITIUK for taking up the quality of the Brexit white paper translations with the Brexit minister and upholding professional standards. https://t.co/AGTapygGMp

This is why translation associations are needed. #xl8

@LSTrans Segovia - somewhere I hadn't been before but it was beautiful! I was accompanying some A level students who were there to do work experience and practise their Spanish but it gave mine a great boost too 🇪🇸
