We did something a little different for St. David's Day this year. In recent years, the day has either been marking by joining in with the ever growing parade that works its way through the middle of Cardiff, or, oddly, I have been in Rome. Staying much closer to home this year, and taking advantage of an impressively sunny day, the decision was made to go mountain climbing. Granted, as mountains go the Sugar Loaf is perhaps one of the less challenging options in Wales, but every mountain counts. It was also a first proper adventure for our intrepid collie Kai, who only seemed to approve of the location. To commemorate the day, I felt stereotypes needed to be lived up to, so lunch involved the consumption of a raw leek - I'm not sure there can be a more fitting way to commemorate St. David's Day, than by sitting on a mountain top eating a leek.

Selected highlights from the St David's Day Parade in Cardiff. This is an event that has steadily grown over recent years, and raises interesting questions on the shaping of a contemporary Welsh national identity in a culturally diverse city centre.
