A lovely spring day

 I have made the most of it.  Some sitting outside in the sun with a good book, listening to the birds and feeling very relaxed.  Then I did some pottering around in the yard - tidying up weed-filled planters and replanting them with Dahlias, Freesias, Nasturtiums etc.  All with labels or I will forget what I planted.  It was 15 deg. today and will be 19 tomorrow, then some rain in the offing.

This is a "before" photo from an area behind the greenhouse which was ignored last year.  Now I will clear it back to scrubbed cobbles again.  I made good progress on it yesterday.

A neighbour dropped me down at the garage and I picked up the car (it's the clutch, and they can't do it until 31st March). I managed to limp home with it via a swift cat-food shop at Co-op, though I had put an order in for an Asda delivery tomorrow as I can't get my grocery shop done in Llandod.

Above and below: The river Irfon on my walk back from the garage yesterday.

Below: Up the hill a bit, a glimpse of the lovely Caer Beris hotel (and ancient castle site).  There is a big holiday cabins site there too.

Sheep and lambs a little further on.

From today's walk.

Then I went for a walk - not that far, about a mile and a half, but I stopped half way on a sun-warmed log and looked across at the hills, and listened to birds again (Jays and Woodpeckers being noisy).  When I came home I started bread dough for a fresh oven-baked loaf (that's cooking now). 

I sat in the living room and read more of my book and suddenly felt really tired. I laid on the sofa and was out like alight for 40 mins.  All that fresh air I think.
