W is an 'oo' sound in Welsh

When I first came to London a month ago, the sun set at 7:30pm. There was a night in Cwmffrwd (Coomfroond for those of you curious to know the pronunciation), Carmarthen in Wales where my parents and I went to Morrisons and bought a roast chicken, salad and pasta (salad). That was the night we came back from Dylan Thomas' Boathouse and Pembroke Castle in Pembroke, along with visiting little Welsh seaside towns and standing on dead jellyfish. We sat outside on the porch of the B&B and just ate there, enjoying the cool air and the sun setting slowly.

This week I got out of class at 5pm on Monday and the sky was inky dark outside. The sun now sets at 3:30pm (if you disregard Daylight Savings which has already started here). A 4 hour difference in just slightly over a month. How startling.
