Well, I got my wish for sunny weather answered. Two days in a row so far, and more to come. I am going to blow my diesel budget for the week and drive the 20 miles to the Elan Valley for a walk tomorrow. Weather like this is so rare in March - it's been 18 deg + today - and I will use it tomorrow to lay down a memory.
Some of the beautiful wild Primroses at the bottom of the holly hedge (from which the house takes its name).
I was out in the garden this morning. Checking the seed trays in the garden - and have lots of Cosmos coming through already. I should have a good display this year. The beautiful dark Hellebores I bought at Malvern have put out lots more flowers, and I plan to get them planted with the BIG Hellebore I bought from the garden centre which is absolutely covered in flowers.
Another area of the garden where I have my work cut out. I have hardened my heart and started pulling up the London Pride which are sprinting towards the lawn. I will leave it up on the little bank.
Just a tad overgrown here . . .
Slight improvement - weeds out at the front, and all the brambles removed behind. I'll return to this tomorrow and hope to get it cleared and mulched.
I did a half hour walk after my afternoon cuppa. Look at the beautiful blue sky. I laid my fleece down on a bank and sat and looked at the view for ten minutes or so, as I listened to Dan Snow talking about Greenland and its colonization and abandonment in the 14th C.
My view from the bank, looking back towards town and the quarry beyond. River Irthon on left.
Lambs enjoying the sunshine too.
