Happy St. David’s day ??????????????

Diolch yn fawr ???????

Happy St. David’s day to our Welsh neighbours.

Happy St David’Day.
We used to have a concert in the morning and the afternoon off when I was at primary school. Did anyone else?

Happy St David’s day???????

We had an Eisteddfod and the month before was filled with rehearsals for short plays choirs, recitations etc, between four houses. It was all quite exciting, and the whole day was taken up with things. I don't think we had half day, this was Monmouthshire in the 60s.

Yes, half day for St.David’s Day, and oh the pride one year when my elder granddaughter won both ‘the chair’ and ‘the crown’

I am not sure what the children will be doing today.Pre lockdown their little school had an Eistedfodd and lots of other activities.If I can find the thread tomorrow I will report back!

Happy St David's Day

Happy St David's Day to one and all. I am currently looking into the history of the old farm where my family lived for about 300 years. And it was the site of Owain Glyndwr's house so all very historic.

Happy St David's Day.

Susan56 Your happy photo has started my day off with a big smile. Thank you.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus! We used to have an Eisteddfod at school with competitions, and I’d dress up. So long ago now ?

Happy St David’s Day (my birthday too)

Happy Birthday JaxJaxy ?????

Hapus Dydd Gwyl Dewi.
When I was in primary school in Carmarthenshire in the fifties we had a concert/eisteddfod in the morning and the afternoon was a holiday. The girls wore daffodils and the boys wore leeks. Some of the boys were brave enough to eat their leeks!
When I went to the Grammar School we had ordinary lessons in the morning and a concert/assembly in the afternoon where we sang welsh folk tunes e.g. Ar Lan y Mor, or Dafydd y Carreg Wen
My grand-daughters have gone to school in their Welsh costumes this morning. Later on today the whole school will do a parade around their village so that everyone will see them in their Welsh costumes. I think that is a lovely idea.

Happy St David's Day!

We used to go to the DGC's school for an Eisteddfod and to have a look at the Welsh-themed projects they'd been doing (usually with the help of parents and grannies over half-term!) but not since Covid, sadly.

I forgot it's Shrove Tuesday too.

Happy At David's Day.

I remember my DD and her friends dressed up in their Welsh costumes. They looked lovely. Always brings happy tears when I see the little ones dress in national costumes.

Sorry St! Silly phone

Happy birthday Jaxjacky. Today was my father’s birthday too. He was Welsh. He would have been 118 today…….I guess you’re a fair bit younger ?
Happy St David’s day all. ???????????????????????????????????

Happy St.,David's Day.

Happy Birthday Jaxjacky, (Sorry, did I miss you on the GM thread?).

As a Welsh person living in England I have brought my small Welsh dragon into work and some bakestones (Welsh cakes) to share at our coffee meeting this morning.

I remember dressing my daughters in traditional costume to go to school when we were all living in Wales. I miss that
