Tomorrow is when we celebrate #CalanGaeaf in Wales as the passage from Autumn through to the first day of Winter, with associations with death and the Dead.

Here's some spooky words to learn.

Pica Ranna = Soul Cakes; Dole Cakes

Pica Ranna were traditionally given out (doled out) to commemorate those who have passed on.
