Happy St David's Day!

[bunn]

Not a photo from 2018, because although the spring was warm up to this week and there were lots of daffs in bloom, the ICY BLAST has come and they are all lying around the place now limp and floppety and unhappy.    We have no snow, though the ground is hard as iron and if we do get any precipitation, it will certainly settle.

I have just updated a website with an announcement saying 'we are all working from home because of the snow in Devon'.   Devon and Cornwall are reallly not set up for snow.

Happy St David's Day!

In the excitement of seeing strange white stuff falling from the sky, I had entirely forgotten it was St David's Day. Poor floppety daffs - no-one will be wearing them proudly.

We haven't got as far as daffodils, fortunately, and even the crocuses are still being a bit cautious*. Snowdrops are probably harder to kill.

*Last year something came and ate all the crocuses near my work before they had a chance to flower. I am blaming Immigrant Squirrels. I don't think it's that this year, though, they just haven't got round to it.
