Classic Chris Hughton. Simple.
I don't think it's Welsh. People did sometimes write postcards in code back then so the postman couldn't read then!
It's not immediately obvious to me and not much content to go on...
Edit: fwiw my guess at the letters is:
T-cuylh hetfee
iitisr sswofe
paeer lbnmo
aotim

It's either a shopping list
Or
a 7-a-side team.
But because I watched the "imitation game" film last week I thought I'd give it a go (how hard can it be) and I held a mirror up to it and Io and behold the last word spells Mitoma (minus the second m).
Pure coincidence?
I think not.
Its a shopping list of players.
Mbuemo and LeTissier are almost in there too.
And Andy Hetfeenthaler.
Get it on Reddit. They'll sort it out.

I think whoever is sending the cards is trying to teach her Welsh slowly by post card. The placement of the words looks more like table form than a letter.
It quite clearly says ‘look after your broom’

Do we know what the "place" is and where is "here2?
Also who's are the initials?

That’s actually a really disappointing message! I was hoping for something a bit spicier.
Great work though, I would never have got there! Looking at the family tree, I suspect it’s from her younger cousin, with the initials ED. Case closed.
