HAPPY DAVID'S DAY

Good Morning hope today brings you sunshine. Gosh today is the 1st March where did Februry go I know it is the shortest month but did i blink. Well today being the 1st March means it is St David's Day so to all my Welsh followers hope today is extra special. Sorry I don't speak welsh even though I was born there but my Mum could speak a little but wasn't allowed to go to a welsh speaking school as both her parents where not welsh.
