There is a buzz in the air today that has nothing to do with Imbolg. People are walking around with their heads held just a little higher, and small secret smiles play around their mouths. I even heard the odd strains of song while out and about this morning.

So what has caused this sudden lift of spirits, I hear you ask? Simple.

Wales beat England playing rugby at Twickenham yesterday.

I wasn't there. I didn't see it happen. I didn't even listen to the match on the old steam radio (two decades of disappointment does get to you after a while.)

Time to dust down the old Welsh flag again....
