ST DAVID'S DAY 1ST MARCH
TRADITIONAL WELSH COSTUME, ONE OF MANY AS EACH COUNTY OR
EVEN TOWN HAD THEIR OWN DESIGN
Real Potato & Leek SoupAnd here we have proof positive that the seasons have moved forward a bit. When Diddily and her sisters were children, it was part of the Easter Celebrations that we went to the woods and collected the beautiful Welsh Wild Daffodils. These would decorate our homes, schools, chapels and churches for many a long day. We would have brilliant Welsh Hymns sung in the Capel Mawr, wonderful. Then by the time Mothering Sunday came round, every spring flower would be there in abundance. Once again the Chapels and Churches would be decorated for the Mothering Sunday Service. Primroses, Violets, Cowslips, Oxslips, Campions, red and white, so many flowers the Angels would be able to smell the perfume where they were sitting watching. I wonder how many more people remember these wonderful days.
