It's St David's Day today! St David, or Dewi Sant as we Welsh like to call him, is the patron Saint of Wales, and I love March 1st! I always feel it's the first harbinger of Spring, and although the weather can be still unpredictable at this time of year, the spring flowers are blooming, and the days seem a little longer and brighter.
When I was a child we always held our school Eisteddfod on St David's Day and great fun it always was too - compeditive mind, but fun nevertheless. We had to wear red ties instead of our usual one, and we would also wear daffodils.
I still love to have daffodils in the house for St David's Day, and we usually eat lamb with mint sauce!

Love the look of your blog, Joy.:-)
The Tiger socks are lovely. I've just bought some to make socks for myself but having made 5 pairs in February, I think I'm all socked out for the time being. ;-)
Happy Dewi Sant Day. I never heard what Welsch sounded like. I tried pronouncing what you wrote, I'm sure I made a mess of it :) Daffodils in March! Lucky you, I won't see those for another two months still.
