Happy St. David's Day!

Or, really, Hapus Dewi Sant in Welsh.

St. David is the patron saint of Wales and today, March 1st, is St. David's day! Wear your leaks and your daffodils, Cymru am byth, and many happy returns.

To celebrate the day, I would like to share the Welsh national anthem (as sung in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff before a rugby game) and some Wales photos.

the anthem (which I can also sing):

Love Wales. Our stay there is so memorable to me. It really is a quaint place with happy Celts. So glad you have been the one in the family to get Wales into your blood! Long live the Bennions!
