Today is St David's Day, the national Saint's Day for Wales.
People in Wales will be wearing a dafodil or leek and all sorts of celebrations will be taking place, from concerts called Eisteddfords to lunches with a special soup of lamb, leeks and potato, served with bread and cheese and known as cawl and in many schools the children will dress up in national costume.
The leek is the symbol of St David but many people, including myself, prefer to wear our national flower, the daffodil, and thanks to our mild winter, I'm happy to say the daffodils in my garden have flowered well in time for the special day, this year!
Happy St David's Day everyone.
