March the 1st is St David's Day in my homeland of Wales, where concerts or 'eisteddffods' are held and people party with lamb stew or 'cawl' and wear a daffodil or a leek.
The day marks the death of of St David in 589 AD.
He was born in Caerfai in Pembrokeshire, Wales .
A St David’s Day parade is held in Cardiff from midday and a concert is also held there, with the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales performing traditional songs.
Happy St David's Day Everyone!
Today I will be proudly wearing a daffodil, and putting up the Welsh Flag outside my house.

To all my Welsh friends
