HAPPY ST. PIRAN'S DAY!

St. Piran is the patron Saint of Cornwall and Tin Miners - St Piran's Day is on March 5th every year.  This year, it coincides with Shrove Tuesday, so dinner tonight will be a Cornish Pasty followed by Pancakes with lemon juice and sugar - Yum!
And to enhance the experience  - a lovely bunch of beautiful Cornish Daffodils.

      Ha ha! I also thought it had printed wrongly - it needed a frame of sorts, didn't it?

      They were! A good combination along with a glass (or two) of Cornish wine.

    -grin- Yes, a frame... You can add a picture "frame," of any color.

    I thought your pics did not publish... But your first comment, told me, it is a flag!!!!

    Must look up what is in a Cornish Pasty! It sounds delicious!!! Here, Pancakes are the traditional dish.

    Lovely daffodils... Look pretty... Especially since I have all the snow outside, here.

    Happy St. Piran's Day to you!

    This year, St. Piran's Day coincides with Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day), hence the combination of Cornish Pasty and Pancakes for dinner. I like my Pancakes with lemon juice and a sprinkling of sugar. The Cornish Pasty needs nothing more than a serviette with which to hold it.

      Whereas St George is the patron saint of England, most people who live here in Cornwall consider it to be a separate country, not just a county of England. So our Patron Saint is Saint Piran whose Day is celebrated on March 5th every year.

      Fields and fields of Daffodils are currently flattened by gales and heavy rain. :( Such a shame.
