No Daffs here yet (and the Leeks are pretty poor).

Alan, How did you post the waving flag and get it to "wobble" ? When I tried to copy and paste it to wish a friend Happy St David.s day the image turned into.a stationery flag, Although perhaps I've accidentally discovered a magic solution to calming a tempest :lol:

You need to do a Google image search for "Welsh flag gif" and pick a moving one and copy its URL.

I love to share photo's of our St Davids day Daffodil display though this year most of usual stock hasn't flowered. We have flowers around our domestic area but the efforts made in planting daffodil many-many years ago by the gentleman who ran this farm when it was working swell me with pride.

All along the lane to the chapel road and in the graveyard are plantings, you wouldn't think farmers had the time. The clusters are massive and uplifting if only to think of the effort made for St Davids day.

I met the gentleman just before he died, he spoke English with difficulty which might be quite normal in some areas of Wales, this area is very integrated with English and Irish.

I love St Davids day.

How are you supposed to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle if it completely removes a wine lover’s reason to live?
