This week we celebrated Say Something Nice Day – a day on which we all make an effort to say something nice to people and to be a little kinder and nicer for the day. But being kind should be something we strive for every day. There are many reasons why we should be kind. Some are more surprising than others!
My home country is Wales, a small but beautiful country that shares a border with England and is one of the four countries that makes up the United Kingdom. On the first day of March every year, we celebrate St David’s Day, the feast day of St David, the patron saint of Wales. It is a day to celebrate our heritage and culture by wearing traditional Welsh clothing and wearing daffodils and leeks, the recognized symbols of Wales. We put on parades, take part in traditional Welsh dances and eat traditional Welsh food such as cawl (a meat and vegetable broth), Welsh rarebit (a fancy version of cheese on toast), and Welsh cakes. Being Welsh is a big part of who I am, especially when it comes to rugby and football matches!
