Its Snowing…!

It’s a cold day in Ceredigion today, although I suspect, not as cold as the rest of the country. We even have a few inconsequential flakes of snow! That may not seem like much to many of you, but its big news here. Not only because we have two young children, but also because we don’t really get snow.

Its true. Whenever the weather-folk predict snow to fall in tranches across our fair isle, a state of high level excitement occurs in camp Troedyrhiw. Sledges get dusted off, and cold weather gear is dug out from the echelons of the hat box. And then…nothing. Today however, it is snowing. Good, proper, fat, fluffy flakes of snow. And whats more, they are sticking! The children are in school, so we can only imagine the fever-pitch there!

Anyway, it probably won’t last long enough to build a snow-elf, never mind a snowman, so it’s a good time to start thinking of spring, which is just around the corner.

Our little corner of west Wales is the perfect place for a few nights break and is beautiful all year around, here are a couple of photos to show you Troedyrhiw Holiday Cottages and the surrounding area in all its glory, all year round.

Until next time,

New arrivals

We’re welcoming six new arrivals here this week, a sure sign that spring has finally sprung!

This little orphan lass and five flock-mates arrived on Sunday, just a few days old, and have already made the stable their home.

They're eager to get out into the field and meet the sheep and last year’s lambs, and Blossom the Shetland Pony is desperate to know who is making all the noise in the next door stsble, but for now they'll all have to wait as they are just too small.

Also spotted in our pond is a lovely big batch of tadpoles, so we’re keeping an eye on them too, to protect them from birds, cats and other monsters! It’s a regular maternity ward here! Lovely to see new life all over the place.

The sun still shines

Finally, a beautiful frosty day in our little valley. Long overdue after weeks of rain, at a time where the last thing we need are grey skies, it put me in mind of one of my favourite Welsh sayings. “Daw haul eto ar fryn” or the sun will come again on the hills, is a beautiful and poetic sentiment for the world in which we find ourselves these last few months.

It's awful odd here these days without our lovely guests too share this beauty with, but we have to keep moving forward. As Annie says “the sun'll come out tomorrow". We hope….
