Saint Piran's Day

At least, it is here. some of you folks get it tomorrow our time

My wife has Cornish heritage and loves to wear the Cornish tartan, or one of them.

Good day to wear a kilt!

Many thanks for the reminder Graham.

I had quite forgotten to carry the entry forward to my 2008 diary. Without question, I will be proudly wearing my Cornish National kilt when I am out and about later today.

Take care,
Ham.

I was going to start a thread on this but don't have to now!

I am wearing my Cornish National in celebration and my avatar shows me in it too!

To all who love Cornwall and things Cornish:

Dydd Piran Sant Hapus Cernw! (Welsh)

Gool Peran looan!

(Cornish)

Happy St Piran's Day! (English)

Belated St. Piran's Day to you! Did anyone attend a public celebration of the day anywhere in the world?

And who is St. Piran?

I think I'll try my hand in making a Cornish pastie, tomorrow!

I wore a white top and my black kilt, with black hose and shoes and a black serape and beret when I went out - as it was rather chilly.

The locals are quite used to my McAbre garments, though they tend to be shocked when I switch to mostly white with something colourful for the summer.

I have done this every year for almost three decades, and they still find it shocking - perhaps they think that women past the first flush of youth should not wear white or bright coloured garments.

Maybe they just aren't used to seeing some one dressed as they do all the way over in Cronwall.
