Lovely, and most interesting - generally the "g" is not pronounced hard at the beginning of a word unless specifically stated like ġ but I notice there are some exceptions! I assume this would be in the "North of the Humber" dialect as it is a personal letter as opposed to the West-Saxon Northumbrian scriptural writings for the public at the time. I'm not at all much of a historian on this particular subject, but goodness, it's a downright shame your channel is not more popular! Your pronunciations are spot-on, and that northern cadence makes it all the more authentic - and yes, it looks quite warm out there for January, good for recording but a proper shame what carbon emissions are doing to our planet. Thanks for this.
Love the two sites! Thank goodness the weather was kind to you. Fela þancas!
