I was on welcoming duty at church today so I carefully practised and used the phrase, "Hapus Dydd Dewi Sant".
I was very pleased with myself. Until I discovered that the correct way to say it is, "Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!"
Ah, well, I tried.
Everyone was invited to stay on afterwards for cawl (Welsh for soup, traditionally made with lamb, leeks, and other vegetables) and bara brith (literally speckled bread, the name comes from the fruit that goes into it).
Sandra, one of our florally gifted ladies, made little arrangements for the tables.
Yesterday was gorgeous so I began tidying the fruit patch.
I have a cunning plan for the bit at the far end but I haven't it to Husband yet and I need his help. Well, I could do it myself but I'm sure there's a saying about that.
Then in the afternoon we walked with Elder Son, GrandSon3, and Theo to Crawley woods.

Elder Son enjoyed himself.
What exquisite daffodil centrepieces! Happy St David's Day to you all!
ReplyDeleteThey were beautiful centrepieces, Debra.
DeleteBeautiful posy. I'm glad Theo managed to keep out of the way of the swing. (Theo is the dog, isn't he?)
ReplyDeleteTheo is the dog yes! He came very close to being banged at one point.
DeleteI love the idea of a fruit patch. Wishing you a wonderful growing season!
ReplyDeleteGooseberries, they're Husband's favourite, rhubarb, which is so easy, and raspberries, my favourite.
DeleteHappy st David's day, in any order! I was very nervous about the dog and the swing.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy St. David's Day
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy St. David’s Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeletePretty table centerpieces
ReplyDeleteThe maker is very talented.
DeleteThat swing does look like fun, but I was afraid the dog would get too close. When you said the phrase incorrectly, I bet people still knew what you meant.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
They didn't know any better, janie!
DeleteHappy St David's Day. I do wish I liked lamb I have tried but nope.
ReplyDeleteNice to see no snow
Cathy
They were vegetarian option too, and bread and cheese and cake!
DeleteHope you have a wonderful St David's Day. I can't wait to get back to have some fresh bara brith and Welsh cakes.
