Sun rise yesterday morning (Taken by a FB follower) And it was a beautiful sun shiny day..We went into town after lunch and it was crowded, so was the promenade.
And it's still winter!
Although March 1st is heralded as the start of Spring, it was only 8.6 C and felt it too!
It is St David's Day the patron saint of Wales today. I used to be dressed as a Welsh girl, with the big hat, when I was little. We always had the afternoon off school on a school day, which was nice.
The photo is not me, but how I was dressed, and yes with the high hat too.
It seems it was an extension of the 1800's riding high hat and has become synonymous with the Welsh Costume. It was promoted by Lady LLanover, born 1803, died 1886 who wanted to ensure that the Welsh dress and culture was kept.
It was a glorious sunny day, roll on Summer!

Pity it's not you in the photo Chris! March is the official start of autumn though it's not like autumn yet. When daylight saving ends in the east you can feel the weather changing. The hot bits of Aus don't have daylight saving. The cows don't know what's going on and the extra sunlight fades the curtains .... some people believed this!
