You're right about that! In fact, I did consider writing about St. David for the article I just posted, since St. David's Day was March 1st. I got so busy this month, though, that I didn't even have a chance to post a bulletin about it like I did last year. I do know of a really informative website about St. David, if you want to know more:

I was thinking of doing next month's article about Spring traditions in Wales; I could talk a bit about St. David's Day then. And I'm sorry it took me a little while to reply to your posting. I'm not used to getting messages on my discussion board, so I don't check too often these days! ;)

Thanks for the suggestion!

I do wish it were more fashionable to wear a leek than a shamrock! smile

In response to message posted by bici:

Even better than a leek OR a shamrock, why not wear a daffodil? Daffodils, too, are associated with springtime and St. David's Day in Wales, in part because of the similarity of their Welsh name to the name for leeks: Leeks are cennin, while daffodils are called cennin Pedr or cenhinen Bedr. smile

I didn't know that! smile

I've been quoting Wordsworth's "Daffodils" to everyone this week...maybe it's the Welsh in me?
