March already.
If I were outside of Wales, I'd wear a daffodil or leek as a symbol of pride in my country; but here, the emblems partly symbolise unity against the English, the so-called "imperialist immigrants". This is one of the few places in the world where the English are hated more than the Americans. Americans are our friends, because many of them are descended from imperialist Welsh emigrants.
Fireworks are going off outside as I write this.
I once saw St. David's bones, in a crevice in the wall of the cathedral named after him. They looked well past their sell-by date. Who was the guy, anyway? Llewellyn was our last "true" Prince of Wales; Merlin and his dragons gave us our flag. But what did St David do for us? Perhaps he was a keen gardener....

Fireworks are going off here too but I have no idea why. I don't think it's about St. David.
