Mar. 1st, 2008 10:55 amHappy St David's Day, everyone. Am extremely touched to see a discreet little leek on the google heading. The daffodil is a 20th century invention of course because a 'lady' told Lloyd George that leeks were such smelly things she didn't want to wear one in her corsage. Lloyd George had quite a lot of interest in ladies so suggested the wild daffodil as a suitable, non-smelly, alternative. I prefer the leek because of the story. ( Cut for them as knows it already. )
On this day we will NOT dye any rivers any colour at all, they are all the colours of the rainbow already from the oil floating on the surface. Nor will we dye beer. There will be no parades, no floats, no huge celebrations. However, there may be some private leek eating and the Welch Regiment's goat will get extra oats.
Edit: I saw a goshawk this morning. Only the second time ever. We thought it was a buzzard as it swooped across in front of the car, then it tilted and the sun shone white on it's belly. Last time I saw one it was tearing a pigeon apart a few yards from my kitchen window. They have beautiful mad bright yellow eyes.
