Happy St Dwynwen's Day/ Dydd Santes Dwynwen hapus!
Today is the feast day of Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers. Her church on Ynys Llanddwyn is a legendary pilgrimage site, a haven for the 'lovesick' and steeped in folklore.
Go forth and be romantic!

Later this week it's Saint Dwynwen's Day here in #Wales and I wrote a little piece for #ArtUK (a wonderful organisation, by the way - their catalogue is just chef's kiss!) about #Dwynwen and seeing affection in everyday objects.
Can you find a little #love around you this week? What items hold unexpected affection in your daily life?

It’s a #StDwynwensDay/#BurnsNight mash up
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus - Welsh patron saint of love
Princess Dwynwen was the beautiful daughter of the king of south #Wales. When she was forbidden to marry the man she loved, she ran away and became a nun. She devoted the rest of her life to helping other lovers find happiness. Dwynwen became the Welsh patron saint of love.
She’s celebrated each year on #StDwynwensDay, 25 Jan
