St David's Day Thanks
Diolch yn fawr - thank you very much - for noting on the front page of your March 2022 issue of Wendover News the fact that 1 March is St David's Day. It does surprise me, especially in the younger generation, how many are ignorant about our four saints days of the year. It was something drummed in to us back in my schools days - admittedly a long time ago - but as these saints have been revered for centuries why should children not still be told about them today?
