Dydd Gŵyl Dewi


Today is St David's Day, the patron saint of Wales. And to celebrate that fact, here is a shot of Portmeirion and flying the Welsh national flag; the Baner Cymru or Y Ddraig Goch, which translated becomes 'The Red Dragon'. Incidentally the name given to many an English pub!

I hope everyone who is Welsh has had a good day, even though, like in England, it is not classed as a public holiday.  Personally I think all saint's days should be given a bank holiday status, as we don't get enough public holidays compared to other European countries.

  4. Oh dear, looks like some spam posts. It's a pity they haven't got anything better to do.
    I agree that Saint's days should be celebrated more, especially with a Bank Holiday. I usually celebrate St David's Day by making lots of Welsh cakes, but I forgot yesterday (busy cleaning & other dull things). But today I bought a leek....
