My 7 year old son came home yesterday telling me that it was St Patrick's day soon. When I reminded him that it was St David's day tomorrow, he looked blank and replied that he hadn't got a David in his class!!
I went on to tell him who St David was, and that he could take his Welsh Dragon flag to school. Oh, he said, I didn't know the dragon was called David!!!! :scared: honestly there's no hope!!! If you ask him he knows when Canada day is and can sing the Anthem!! when I asked my children to sign the British Anthem they both burst into "New York, New Yorks" as sung in Madagascar My hubby and I nearly wet ourselves laughing!!!!

Re: happy St Davids Day
My son got a "Happy St David's Day" card from his grandparents in Wales... a shop-bought one I mean, not home-made. What's that all about?? (the card I mean, not St David's Day...!)

I find this really strange that everybody only seems to celebrate St Patrick over here
Maybe the Irish are taking over We do seem to get around

Well there were lots of children dressed up in rugby tops, girls in traditional Welsh costumes and many draped in Welsh flags today when I went to the school but then again I do live in Cardiff.

Re: happy St Davids Day
I did wish the only other welsh person at my work Happy St Davids Day. I was going to bake some Bara Brith but as I'm going to Wales this weekend (and I'm feeling lazy) I thought I would buy some instead (yummy).
