Diwrnod hapus Dydd Gŵyl Dewi!

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

I really hope you dress up anyway because I'm writing a post for St Paddy's and I need a good feature image @Susan17  😄

Ah, I think I'll pass on that, thanks. Very camera-shy, me! :))

Besides, I wouldn't be able to upload any pics anyway - the little camera icon has disappeared so no ability to add screenshots or anything now (on my phone, anyway) Plus my emojis won't work anymore either! Gutted.. :))

Great topic, by the way, did any of you have School House Teams like we did at school?
I'd be interested to know what they called them.

Heaven preserve them if they dare contemplate cancelling St Patrick's Day @Susan17 >
We have a lovely Irish lass working at the swimming pools and we were discussing the Flags alongside the pools and where are the Australian and Irish ones.

We will make sure that the Irish one flows for the 17th!!

Yeah in my school I was in Clitherow. I went to an all girls school so our houses were named after some amazing historical women, @Helen427 !

[Helen427]

Wow, who is Clitherow?
Maybe we could start a topic on these people to @Stephanie
