More Welsh Ladies

Off to the Eisteddfod

Today is the first school day after St Davids Day so most of the schools in Wales have some kind of St Davids Day celebration where they all dress up and sing songs and the like.
Our village school has a full blown competitive Eisteddfod with singing, art and recitation categories. I could not really call it fun, it takes a long time, but I am glad we do it and there is something satisfying about hearing the children singing the old songs and reciting daft poems.

Thankyou Lorraine

T.Doll: Rose is wearing my costume that I wore as a child, that was made up in Brecon. The twins are wearing costumes bought in Tescos (our version of Walmart).
