I've never been to Cilmeri myself, maybe this year will be the first time. Here's a translated message from maes-e.
I didn't go again this year, but there's some great photo's here.

How was Cilmeri? Did you go? I was tempted but I'm uncomfortable with celebrating monarchy (or the loss thereof) and my Welsh is not up to examination yet. Do they still do the paramilitary marching business?
No I didn't (see edit at the bottom of post ;-) )
With regards to monarchy, I don't hink it's monarchy that's being celebrated, but remebrance of a leader and his army who died defnding their country - whether or not an independent Wales would have maintianed it's Princes until now will don't know.
Looking at the photo's (see link at the end of the post), some were dressed in what could be described as paramilitary nuiforms, but accoding to the caption on Flickr, these were to reprsent the 18 soldiers who protested Llywelyn.
How abour St David's day march/parade through Cardiff, will you make that? We could meet for a pint before/afterwards maybe? I'm thinking of sending out an invite to other patriotic bloggers I've found on the net in the last 12 months.
