St Patrick's day was last month, St. Andrew's Day 30th November, and St. David's Day March 1st. We celebrate them all with traditional dishes. Not sure, Sue, but wouldn't be surprised to learn of a bit o' Welsh in there somewhere! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I am sure that there will be all sorts of celebrations around England with Easter and St George's Day and not forgetting "The Wedding" next Friday! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
