Editor’s Note
Spring is in the air and there is so much to celebrate and enjoy as the season begins. St David’s Day is March 1st, and Welsh people all around the world will pay tribute to the patron saint of Wales. Festivities can include wonderful Welsh food, a rich fruit cake called bara brith or laverbread, a luxurious seaweed dish.
Schools, libraries, and bookshops will celebrate World Book Day on the 7th of March. This year’s theme is The Great Big Footy and Booky Quiz. It’s always a fun celebration usually marked with fancy dress competitions and activities based around storytelling. Children can obtain a £1 book token and choose a free book. 2024s-1-books (worldbookday.com)
In the UK, Mother’s Day falls on the 10th of March this year, so be sure to celebrate your Mum and make her feel special. Many local retailers are happy to work with you and create a bespoke gift for the special mother in your life.
The first day of spring is officially the 20th of March 2024, so look out for all the daffodils and tree blossoms in your local neighbourhood. Easter celebrations occur at the end of this month, with Good Friday on the 29th of March. Then the clocks will go forward in the early hours of Sunday the 31st of March, essentially giving you an hour less to consume all of those Easter eggs!
Happy Easter!
