General Chat

Marion I will dig them out for you and post them later :o)

Thanks everyone she has now decided she will be wearing her costume, her and the girls had a chat today and arranged Fridays dress code pmsl

And now she is singing the national anthem, she knows more Welsh than I do lol

Isn't it lovely to have a national costume ...... in answer to your question, I would go along with what your daughter feels like......if she thinks she will look a dweeb, then let her dress as she wishes......you may find after all that she wished she had worn the national dress......decisions, decisions......lol

Hugs to her

May I say as an English woman (sorry to swear) LOL but with Welsh ancestors (I am half Welsh) would love the English to have a national day(I know St. Georges) - but are we supposed to all dress up as knights or dragons - as far as I am aware we have no National costume which I think is a crying shame. (Of course I could be very ignorant, so if someone knows different would love to hear).

I am glad you still hold on to that tradition and long may it last.

I still have mine but it fits my 11 year old granddaughter now.They have an international day at school once a year and as there are so many ethnic backgrounds, it's a wonderful day, they all bring a main dish and/or a sweet, traditional from their culture. Our miniMary brings a large plate of Welsh cakes and leek and potato soup, then eats the Indian and Jamaican food!!!! The last day I could not believe the quantity of food available and the variety.

I have Welsh hats for all 3 granddaughters (believe it or not, I had them ,in Canada, from Freecycle!!) but the younger 2 have no costume.

Iechyd da!!
Here's to dewi Sant.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
