A man I knew grew up near the tower and was delighted when he saw it on the card.

Hello Nic. I’m always up for Christmas cake, whatever the season. Excited for Hot Cross Buns soon. I seldom know what day of the week it is, let alone saints’ days!

Christmas cake, anyone?

Deedh Da John. Oh dear. I can see I am going to have to buy some sort of almanac to avoid giving further offence.

I am bending my head in shame. I woke up this morning to all things St David’s Day in the media and realised my faux pas – but too late to do anything about it. I have put all of the national days into my diary for next year so it can’t happen again. In my defence, I don’t celebrate any of the national days and they usually just pass me by – so no slight was intended. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus.

Hello Simon. Well I ran to my dictionary in a panic, but I think encomiastic is correct – praising something or someone. But if I am wrong I am always happy to be corrected. Thanks for letting me know you found the post of interest.

Fascinating read though.
