As im sure many of you are aware it is the custom in Wales for the children to dress up in the national costume on St Davids Day.

At what age do you think it is the norm to still wear the costume?

I ask this as Boo is still unsure wether to go for it or not this year cos she dont wanna look like a dweeb (her words not mine lol)

Jax xx

not beyond Junior school I would have thought

puts on my leek costume pmslxx

Ann shes nearly 8 so she can still get away with it I think lol

Joy now I would pay to see that pmsl

My daughter is 8 and wants to wear one to school on Friday as they are having an eisteddfod and I know a lot of her friends are too.

Jo xx

Hiya Jax

Girl's are funny like that aren't they? They seem to mature quicker than boys and don't want to look babyish. I'd say let her do as she wants....but have a costume on standby cos you can bet your life that when she sees her mates dressed up, she'll want to aswell lol

does a twirl


have a look for free hun xxx

Jo yes same at Boos school they will have a day of celebrations on Friday too, she will also find out the results of the St David Day competition she entered so im keeping my fingers crossed for her.

Jeanette ive decided girls are a pain lol Ive got her costume ready just incase, if she doesnt want to wear it I will pack it in her bag so she can change if she feels like it.

Unfortunately I don't know the difference as I have two pains! lol

Joy

aww ya look lovely

I would put on me little welsh girl outfit but its more like a mini skirt on me now pmsl

Marion or leek and potato soup lol

Jeanette ive got 2 girls but my boy is much more laid back than the girls, as long as he is well fed and his rugby kit is washed daily he's fine lol

Marion I will be making some on Saturday to celebrate as my lot dont like cawl.

Will also have to get my griddle out to start making some welshcakes yummy

I will cyber you some over lol

*diet police alert*

Hmmmmm....are those welsh cakes fattening by any chance?

Marion

Cawl is a thin stew made from lamb and veg

Jeanette errrrrrrrr emmmm

do you want an honest answer or can I lie this one occasion? pmsl

I think 8 is ok to wear welsh costume, but perhaps girls grow up quicker than this nowadays. Am sitting in here and on the wall in front of me is a photo of my daughter aged about 5 dressed in welsh costume holding a large bunch of daffodils, she looks lovely.

Joy

Send me half a dozen and I'll keep quiet! lol

welsh cakes fresh from mam's bake stone, split and buttered with good welsh salted butter, best day after pancake day in our house.

Cariad they do look lovely in them, I have a photo of me in my costume when I was about 6 somewhere I hated it the red didnt go with my hair lol

Ok Jeanette ya on lol

Will send em over when ive made them ;o)

Cariad I use the griddle that my Grampy made for my mum when she first married, when mum died my brother was going to chuck it but I rescued it, god its heavy but it hold the heat really well.

think my mams was cast iron, black, and well used, can't for the life of me think what happend to it. When I wanted to make welshcakes a while back, had to use frying pan, was not good cause cooked on outside too quickly before inside was done.

Ive tried with a frying pan in the past too and had the same problem.

Oh well school run time best go get the little horror lol
