I assume this is not a sign of spring but GN kindly helping us to celebrate St David's Day. Greetings to all you other Welsh and partly Welsh members for tomorrow. Lots of dragons, daffy and red things in shop windows here.
And to all you others do please come on your holidays! We have the very best castles for your GKds to explore. Fantastic unspoilt coastline. Proper mountains. Independent [cake] bakeries and an absolutely wonderful ice-cream industry.

Need to get my eyes tested, I read the title as Happy St David's day Welsh miners. I thought that's a bit funny, what about the rest of the occupations in Wales ? grin daffodil

Happy St Davids day to all Welsh folks. I am just thinking that daffodil daffodil SOUNDS like a Welsh word - anyone know its etymology?

Out into the sunshine shortly to lift the last of our leeks. There will be some going spare after I have made Leek and Potato Soup if anyone needs some to wear or for culinary delights.

Hope you take your leeks, welsh cakes and bara brith with you lefthanded, and hope the [sun] shines
Happy St David's day.
The daffodil daffodil daffodil aren't out in the garden but DH brought some home.
I think the dragon must be multi-national, he seems to be everywhere.
Didn't see anyone in their Welsh costume this morning, is anyone wearing theirs today?
PS I am an immigrant, I must confess.
