St. Davids Day

[daipp]

Just a big "Hello" to everyone in Wales or from Wales today as it is St. Davids Day. I wore my daffodil today in Norwich with pride!

That was a very very late 'Hello' for St. David's Day.

Have a wonderfull holiday.

All the Very Very Best
(English & Still proud)

A day late replying but, yes, we wore our daffodils

At work (local library) we had a Dylan Thomas morning with readings from Under Milk Wood and coffee and welsh cakes afterwards for the forty or so people who came to watch

The primary school children all went to St Fagan's Museum for the day and lots of the younger ones wore their welsh costumes. The older ones were mostly in red rugby shirts!

Hilary, do tell - I should know this being a Richards before I married - but could you describe a Welsh cake? If you have a good recipe, please share it

Hilary... could you describe a Welsh cake? ... a good recipe...

I can duck out of the 'good recipe' request by telling you that I have only ever helped to make one batch of welsh cakes in my life - helping eldest DD enter some for the school eisteddfod (competition of arts and crafts held in Wales). We didn't have access to a traditional bakestone on which to cook them, so we improvised with a large frying pan. They looked okay on the outside, but weren't cooked on the inside! Pity the poor teachers who had to judge the entries . Consequently, I didn't offer to make any for the coffee morning!

Welsh cakes are small and circular, a little like a scone, but much flatter. They are 'shorter' (in cooking terms!) than scones and are cooked very slowly on a bakestone on the stove top, rather than in an oven.

silverka2002 - love the pictures! I bet your daughter prefers her flag to the traditional dress!

I know this is very late, but we had a Welsh choir singing in our City Hall, along with the Lord Mayor - in the middle of Yorkshire! We don't even celebrate St George's day here!
