Snowdrops keep fallin on my head.

Lovely week in Cambrian ,just made for spreading snowdrops and having bonfires .My spring flowers have been discovered by lots of lovely ladies from the Alpine Garden Society ,I thought that the snow might have knocked them back , [the flowers ,not the ladies]but they are alpines of course ,and each day they just seem to get better ,it's worth all the cold of winter just to get them . Cheers
Movie of the week ..."The Kings Speech" ....it'll leave you speechless.

Southern storm

Well what an amazing week that was ....everyone got the snow ,even you Aucklanders weren't going to be left out ,mind you that's enough now ,a jokes a joke ,and I'm ready for spring now .

Winter into spring

Evening all , waiting now for the big snowstorm that is being predicted ,the last week has held hard [-6] frosts but lovely days ,just what you like for working in ,and then a lovely fire in the evening with a good book or a dvd. Feeding of the chooks was at 9am this morning ,sublime conditions .The snowdrops look a treat and I've had some lovely visitors coming to see them .

Afternoon All ...I woke this morning to a frantic sleet storm ,it lasted ten minutes and left the place white ,by ten o'clock we were sunbathing again !Most of my snowdrops are out ,some croccuses and the first daffodil should flower any day ,the place looks beautiful but I just hope not too much comes out to be burnt off by a late frost .Here's hoping .Now I have just finished three days of frantic felting ,Lea ,a German WWOOFer from Kleve near the Dutch border was keen to learn about felting so we decided to flag the forest away and just felt ! she was quite a taskmaster and look what we achieved .I've never had such clean hands !! We were particularly proud of the bag that we made as it was quite ambitious in design and pattern ,but it turned out great .
Last w/e I spent in Dunedin and had a grand time with Manu and Cam ,and a superb walk along the Portobello peninsula with Halina ,who is in Dunedin on stable ground ! Back into the" woods" tomorrow and more bonfires .
Thought for the day ."Better a quiet man with ethics ,than a brash man with money "!!!
