bethan commented on the word cwtch
One of my favourite Wenglish (South Welsh Valley colloquial) words.
A cwtch - a cuddle, a hug
Cwtch up to - snuggle up to someone
All cwtched up - wrapped up warm, snuggled closely to or hidden ("She's cwtched her face away")
The Cwtch - a small hidey-hole or shed, sometimes the cupboard under the stairs.
Pronounced "cutch" but with a slightly longer "u", to rhyme with "touch" rather than "hutch"
