Well St David's Day is to be celebrated tomorrow in proper fashion here in
rural Leicestershire!
The local pub (The Red Lion) has a new guest beer - Brains's St Davids! How
timely can that be? The Irish landlord didn't know of the coincidence!

It is indeed good to hear that Saint David's Day is getting more
recognition than it has in the past.
Our Welsh flag is already flying. Tomorrow morning the Baner y Draig
Goch
will be raised over our courthouse. On Sunday we'll be at the St.
David's
Day dinner in Wilkes-Barre with two more Welsh recruits.
Our church organist is Welsh, so Sunday I'm certain that the
chords of Cwm
Rhondda and other Welsh favorites will fill the sanctuary.
The Welsh Society of Philadelphia will celebrate its 275th
observation of
St. David's Day with a dinner (Dewi Sant himself must have been
the guest
speaker at that one!) and all it right with the world.
There is another good sign. More and more I see the "mother
tongue"
popping up on the Camrs.FHS E-mails which forces me to reach for my
trusty
Geiriadur (I had to look up that one ) Collins Spurrell.
No matter how thin your Welsh blood may be, mine is about 25%, you
know
you have a Welsh soul if when you hear a good choir sing a Welsh hymn,
you feel that tingle running up your spine.
