Spring has come to Wales!

The storms finally ended a couple of weeks ago, and we have had some reasonable weather since. The woods are full of snowdrops, and daffodils are bursting into flower alongside crocus, polyanthus, forsythia and blossom on trees. I have been in the garden weeding and pruning this week.

Yesterday, 1st March St David’s day, was a beautiful sunny day. We took advantage of the Welsh government’s generosity of heritage sites being free to enter on St David’s Day, and went to Raglan Castle not far from here.2014-03-01 Raglan Castle 1 Resized 2014-03-01 Raglan Castle 10 Resized 2014-03-01 Raglan Castle 16 Resized

Feeling spring-like, I painted a vase of daffodils. I also worked on my deer, which I think is now done.Vase of Daffodils Resized King of the Forest Resized
