Topic: Happy St David’s Day!

If celebrating the occasion, please try to restrain yourself from eating too many leeks or daffodils.

Fun fact: The Welsh for daffodil is Cenhinen Bedr, the literal translation of which is “Peter’s Leek”. It has been suggested that the closely related name may have caused confusion and led to the use of the daffodil instead of the leek as a symbol of Wales.

Happy St David's day to all, and memories of our late forum friend Dave Paddock whose birthday this was.

No daffs in bloom here yet.

Indeed, Geoff. Although I didn’t say so earlier, I do always think of Dave P when St David’s Day comes around.
