Very interesting! There's Welsh Week here in NYC, appropriate as Llandaff-born merchant and Signer of the Declaration of Independence Francis Lewis lived here. I'm one of many Americans who has Welsh roots (Mathew, Herbert, Fleming, Bowen and Merrick), more common than one might imagine. And I shall be mindful of doing 'the little things'. (Adorable childhood photo, by the way.)

Very interesting article , and I learned a lot from reading it about the history of celebrating St Davids day. I have a friend, born and raised in Milford Haven who has lived in England for a long time , and St Davids Day is very important to him .

Thank you! This was wonderful. I wish you a very happy Saint David’s Day! In honor of my Welsh ancestors I will ‘do the little things.’ Wise advice, indeed.

Is that you in the costume?

The only Welshman I was close friends with was called Dewi and he taught me to say it properly. As ginger as the Tudors too!
