Good stuff - a much more sensible way of reminding you of the day/date/year than a smart phone

As if to celebrate, our daffodils have started to make an appearance.

Well.... how did I miss it ... first official day of spring, the sun is shining and a few daffs are at last starting to flower - they seem very late this year.
So HAPPY St DAVIDS DAY to those who wish to celebrate it .... Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus

Dewi Sant as he is known here, although mistakenly people thing that is Welsh for Saint David when in fact it's his full name - Dewi (ap) Sant or Sandde.
Sandde was the son of King Ceredig first King of Ceredigion (Cardiganshire) who raped St Non and thus conceived Dewid or Dewi as he's now known.
So you could say his full name is Sant Dewi Sant - Saint David, son of Sant/Sandde
Technically also the patron saint of Welsh beekeepers as beekeeping was an important part of his monasteries' lifestyle.

And by pleasant coincidence, I also saw my first daffodils of the season today. I'm quite intrigued that they're so late compared with pretty much any other year recently despite the Winter being so mild. I wonder if it's because there was so little sunshine in the latter part of last year.
