Happy 2026 St David's Day / Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant Hapus 2026

2026 here in Papunya (Northern Territory, Australia) and it will be/is already March 1st, St David's Day (and the glorious thing about time zones is it will also will be March 1st again in Wales).

Hope your 1st March is a happy one for you all and that you are eating leeks, speaking Welsh and singing (just to perpetuate all the myths) to the best of your abilities.

St David’s Day - the day we celebrate all things Welsh, from the coast and inland. When we remember his words: gwnewch y pethau bychain - do the little things. What better way to celebrate than to bring those words to life with an outpouring of hwyl and kindness.
