Happy St Davids Day
 
To all my fellow Welsh people out there. Hope you have/are wear(ing) your daffodil with pride. Although the ground is probably still frozen in Canada to grow any. You could always make one like we used to do in school!

Happy St David's Day.

Have you ever noticed that St David's, St George's, and St Andrew's Days aren't well promoted by Brits abroad, but that St Patrick's Day is an excuse for a piss-up nearly everywhere in the world.

I asked my kiddies teachers why they didn't mention the other saints, and both of them didn't even know who St David was :blink:

I have now banned my kids from calling it St Paddys day.....they can at least call it by the right name! (even though they think it's all about naughty leprechauns!)

I did actually want to take a photo as I've never made them before and they look and taste really very good but my camera battery was flat.

I've made some Welsh Cakes too, but they don't taste the same without a pinch of mixed spice!

Happy St Davids Day - wear your daffs and leeks with pride today!

Seriously why would we expect Canadians to know the patron saints of Wales England and Scotland? They have no relevance in Canada.

The only reason we know of St. Patrick is because of clever marketing and it is used as an excuse to drink and party, possibly to excess. :mad:

Oh by the way happy St Davids Day to all those of Welsh extraction.:thumbsup:

We are off to a St. David's day dinner tonight. Food is usually good and evening ends up with a load of singing in Welsh. I don't do singing and certainly not in Welsh, but its OK because nobody hassles you if you don't join in.

I'm sure that, since you're living in this country, you've taken the trouble to find out who the patron saints of Canada are. :p

Happy St. David's Day, everyone. :)
