~ Saint Dwynwen's Day ~

The card I made for My Man for St Dwynwen's Day

I like that it takes four M's to make a star ~ his name begins with an M and he is an astronomer :~)

We went out to celebrate Diwrnod Santes Dwynwen a day early this year, as the weather was kind and the next day was forecast to be wet and windy...which it was! We take note of these things since we've had the bike.

We went to The George's ~ the very best in Haverfordwest.  I had a mocha coffee and My Man had red berry herbal tea, and we were really happy to see they had Honeybuns cakes,

as he has gluten and dairy allergies. We had stopped going to cafes because it was no fun eating something delicious in front of him, and as it is one of our most favourite things to do together, we were missing it. So this was very happy~making indeed :~)

We had a lovely conversation with the lady who works there about the bees in Lesley's walled garden, and whose honey and wax candles they have on sale in the shop.

They were very proud last year, to have won the prize for best honey in the Newcomer's category, and the first prize for the wax sculpture ~ a skep.

The shop is full of goodies and treasures and goes back, and around and down into little secret places where you might find crystals, and books and gem and silver jewelry and eco clothing and footwear and lots lots more....as I said...the best in Haverfordwest.

 

My Man caught me talking with my hands as usual.....

and writing...

but, sadly, he wasn't in the mood to have his photo taken....so here are a few that I love of him

he too is always writing

reading

dreaming

and because it was the Welsh day of Love....

DIWRNOD SANTES DWYNWEN ~ ST DWYNWEN'S DAY ~ the Welsh day of LOVE*

We celebrate the feast day of our Welsh equivalent to St Valentine today ~ Saint Dwynwen who is the Cymric patron saint of lovers. Her name means 'she who leads a blessed life' which is fitting as she  chose to become a nun, dedicating her life to God.

A while ago I carved a tiny Love Spoon, (my effort is very crude and basic compared to what you see here!), from a small piece of driftwood, and although it was traditionally a young man who carved these to hopefully win the girl of his choice, I made mine to give to My Man because I love him so ~ he is very easy to love and I am blessed beyond my wildest hopes to have him choose to travel this path with me.

We will be travelling to Cardigan ~ where I was born ~ this morning, and visiting our favourite cafe for tea and tasty morsels.  A meander around the galleries for soul~feeding eye candy and a search for thrifted goodies in the numerous charity shops; maybe finding a tree friend that would like a hug and generally doing things we love on this special day :~)

Hope you get to do things you love today ~
Blessed be
