There’s nothing quite like coming across the distinctive yellow blooms of a clump of wild daffodils on an early spring day.
The daffodil is the national flower of Wales and is traditionally worn on St David’s Day, which celebrates Wales’ patron saint, David (Dewi sant in Welsh), on 1 March every year, and there are several theories as to why the daffodil came to be a symbol of Wales.
The weather is being really lovely to us this week. We must have been ever so good! The daffodils are ìn full bloom now, bluebells are in the queue awaiting their turn to flower, the tadpoles have all hatched, and new life and summery sounds are everywhere! Even the butterflies are venturing out.
The low spring sun looks especially beautiful when it shines through the trees, casting stunning light and shade patterns in the fields, making our little valley look as pretty as a picture.
A new visitor to our shores has featured in the news recently, so we decided to combine a business trip to beautiful Tenby to check him out.
The giant walrus, affectionately named Wally, thought to be from the Arctic, has been making himself at home on the lifeboat slipway at Tenby and proving a great pull to bring the visitors back to Tenby after the long lockdown!
We popped down to say ‘Hi’ to Wally, and he was suitable underwhelmed by all the attention he was getting, preferring to just keep chilling!
The lifeboat crew have to make some noise to get him to move when they have a shout and when they’ve got out of his, he just gets back on to keep sunbathing!
Lots of dark skies lately, and it is hard to feel positive in these strange times we find ourselves in, but mother nature still takes her time to remind us to stop, breathe and find something to appreciate and be grateful for. However small.
This was a wet, cold, windy coast path at Aberporth this morning. The sun broke through, there was the beginnings of a rainbow on the horizon and a robin was eating on the path right next to me.
A gang of pigeons (or are all groups of things called a bubble nowadays?!) were clearly flouting all covid rules, sheltering on the cliff!
Nature is beautiful, and this place we live in is beautiful.
