Yma Mae Dreigiau - Here Be Dragons

Yma byddwn yn ceisio adrodd streaon bob yn ail yn y Saesneg a'r Gymraeg, 2 yr wythnos, chwedlau fedrwch eu mwynhau gan coginio, lliwio, gwneud gwaith ysgol neu golchi llestri.
Here we attempt to tell 50 stories at a rate of 2 a week and alternating between a story in Welsh and a story in English and can be enjoyed while the children help with washing up, do their homework or weed the garden, they can be enjoyed equally by the driver of the car and the passenger with their dozing in the passenger seat.
