Diwrnod hapus Dydd Gŵyl Dewi!

[Stephanie]

Hi everyone,

This Sunday in the British country of Wales, it’s St David’s Day! An important and old celebration of the patron saint of Wales, daffodils flowering in this spring weather bring about a sea of yellow new life. Traditional Welsh food is served including cawl and, my favourite, Welsh rare-bit (cheese on toast, not a rare bunny!)

The Welsh people share their heritage and honour this day across the country, with the larger cities holding parades of celebrations. 

Do you celebrate St David’s day, or does anyone in your family of Welsh heritage do so? 

In England, we are taught about our neighbouring countries significant days so I was surprised to hear that my fellow OCM’s had not heard of it (though they are from all over the planet.)

Thanks,

Stephanie

Thanks @Stephanie , we used to have school houses named, St Davids, St Georges, St Andrews and good ole St Patrick's for Team sports.

I was in St Patrick's Team.

I've no idea how or who decided what St's team we would be in, as it wasn't our nationalities, nor religion.

I meet a couple of lovely Welsh ladies who are nursing at our Children's Hospital when out and about recently.

They were very much enjoying our summer sun and swimming!

Happy Saint David's Day folks

"I was in St Patrick's Team"

Glad to hear it, Helen! Sure what better team could you wish to be on? ;))

Here's my pathetic daffodils in this mornings rain!

 

[Helen427]

Nice & cheerful @Stephanie , do you know which variety of Daffodils they are?

They have quite a few different varieties at Cornwall Park in New Zealand Spring time.

They look delightful with the newborn animals, you could do with some calves & lambs in your garden @Stephanie @Susan17 @Quincy @Teresa1377 @John2406

@Stephanie Hope you won't mind me mentioning it, but Wales is actually a Country rather than a County (of Britain). 

Don't know whether you'll be able to insert the all-important "r", but if you can, it may well stop a lot of Welshmen/Welsh women, very proud of their Country, from having apoplexy!

Thank you

[Stephanie]

Hiya @John2406 ,

So sorry, that was a type-o, I know Wales is an absolutely beautiful country! Forgive a hastily typed English text :D. I've fixed it now.

Thanks,

Stephanie

What deep joyful laughter the color of daffodils brings to my heart. Prescott Valley, Az, High Dessert leaves little to such color even having a beauty of its own. While managing my bookings I came across this Air BNB community chat. Glorious. I’ll text more when time avails. I pray to return to England and stay in your Air BNB. Most graciously thank you. 

Kindly,

Terry

Hi there @Teresa1377, welcome! I don't think that your friend will see this post as this is the Community Center. Perhaps try sending message via the Airbnb app? 

Good luck!

@Quincy @Stephanie 

I think Terry might be referring to Steph's post for St David's Day, that had the pic of all the daffs? Which in fairness, were rather glorious..  ;))

HAHAHA!!! Ta for the tag @Susan17, we will merge it with the St David's day post. 

Thanks for your kind words @Teresa1377 !

Thanks

[Quincy]

Cheers @Susan17! I was on holiday for a few days, so I might have missed a couple of things here. I've now merged it with the original topic ;-). 

[Susan17]

Would that be our @Stephanie in the second pic, by any chance @Quincy? The one wrapped in the Welsh flag, with the shades and the daffodil bonnet on? :))😉

[Stephanie]

Oi, cheeky! These are random people of the internet @Susan17 . I wouldn't mind dressing as a flower though, let's be honest. 

Thanks

[Susan17]

Lol! Soz, Steph! I had you down more as a tulip kind of girl, tbh :))

I'll send you a pic of me dressed up as a leprechaun in a couple of weeks to make up for it! That's if Paddy's Day doesn't get cancelled of course, which is starting to look like a distinct possiblity :((
