Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!


Daffodil Tête à Tête putting on a great show in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers.

It's Saint David's Day, dears - a day to celebrate all things Welsh, including cawl, daffs, leeks, male voice choirs, Welsh cakes, rugby, Dame Shirley Bassey, Christian Bale, Ivor Novello, Terry Jones, Taron Egerton, Roald Dahl, Ray Milland, Dylan Thomas, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sir Bryn Terfel, David Lloyd George, Dame Siân Phillips, Mary Quant, Dorothy Squires, Sir Richard Burton, Laura Ashley, Steve Strange, Russell T Davies, Jonathan Pryce, Timothy Dalton, Michael Sheen, Ruth Madoc, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Tommy Cooper, Molly Parkin, Sir Harry Secombe, Katherine Jenkins, Bonnie Tyler, and...

...Cerys Matthews and Sir Tom Jones!


"Bloody freezing, innit?!"

It certainly is this morning.

    1. I know - Paddy's Day is everywhere even though that's not for two weeks, yet nary a mention anywhere of an actual British saint's day... I blame America. As always. Jx
