I know you are going to say to me that this is a little bit late! St David's Day, traditionally celebrated on the First of March, celebrates the life and work of St. David. Born around the year 500 he was a renowned preacher and founder of monastic sites, possibly founding the Abbey at Glastonbury.

A lucky day for many when maybe your true love will pop the question "Will you Marry Me?"

Did you know that the first puzzles came about around 1760, to lighten the severities of victorian education!!
