Happy St David's Day everyone!

Since Cardiff is a city that's previously been somewhat...lacking, when it comes to keeping up with Welsh culture, this was only ever anything special when I was in school and we had the Eisteddfod competitions (I won first place once, for my Bara Brith cake!)

I'd like to do something about this, so I've been trying to think of things Rowan and I can do to mark the day. So I was pleased to learn of a St David's Day parade finishing at Cardiff Bay this afternoon. And kinda pleased that Rowan, yet again, did not go see his Dad, as it meant I could take him.

There wasn't much going on, to my disappointment, but we still had a good day. We wandered around the Bay, had chinese for lunch, then watched the parade before walking back to town to see if anything was going on at the Castle. Nothing was, but I let Rowan have a run around the grounds for a few minutes anyway.

Naturally I had my camera with me, so let the picspammage commence! *grin*

The obligatory vase of daffodills! :-)

And of course Rowan has to get in on the action...

Of course he has to wear a Welsh shirt today!

I love taking pictures of him around the Bay :-)

I even allowed him to take a picture of me...thankfully I didn't break the camera! *laughs*

Anyhoo! Pictures of the parade...

I also took some random pics around the Bay itself, including Torchwood's local pub and the Tesco Ianto shops at most often ;-) But I'm so knackered I'm not gonna bother with that tonight.
