March on...

[caddyman]

Well Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus, everyone. Yes, it’s 1 March and that makes it Taffy Day¹. I noticed this morning that a couple of Daffodils are flowering in the garden – most of them are just green shoots right now, but four or five have managed to flower on the day itself. I understand that we have some pink daffodils hidden away in the beds, too, but so far none have these have shown themselves – and neither have the tulips we planted at the same time. Still, what with the crocuses and Easter Roses, we have a few things poking out and there are buds everywhere.

It won’t be long before my nemesis, the cherry tree wakes up properly and I am forced to chobble antihistamines like they are going out of fashion.

So, yesterday was 29th February – Leap Day as it were. Well that was a bust, I managed to get absolutely no leaping done, though in fairness, my knees, which are rather sore, will thank me for that omission. Maybe in 2016 they will hurt less and I shall be able to indulge myself a little. Or not, more like.

¹I can say this because I am one-third² Welsh. You can'r because you're not.

²It's a Welsh thing. Don't ask.

We have around 20°C here and a full blast of sunshine. To drink wine in! But, I have no garden. Therefore, and only therefore, I am getting up at eight saturday to help some friends move to a house equipped with one and close to the sea too. One has to take precautions now that spring is near.
