St David's Day.
When I spoke to my daughter after his birthday last year, he complained to her, that he hadn't had a present from her and his Dad, but that I had sent him hand knitted socks! They had sent him money, but it is still nice to receive something through the post it seems, even when you're in your twenties!
The Welsh cakes are delicious..

Thank you for this recipe! My friend Judi made them when we were doing Celtic stories and I found them addictive. Can't wait to make them myself.
Thank you for the recipe, Chris. I don't think I've ever made or eaten Welsh cakes. I shall have to try them now :-)
