There was a real feeling of spring in the air last weekend.
Bees were buzzing, birds sang their little hearts out and everything in the garden looked really lovely. Even the Spanish bluebells were giving it their all, their last hurrah and not realising I was about to dig out the interloping blighters.
In the house, the rays lit up the the dust on the inside of the windows and drew attention to cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. But, to be honest, no-one cared.
It’s amazing what a few days of sunshine can do to uplift the soul, especially at the weekend when more people can enjoy it. Children were playing, building dens, families were out en masse, with big smiles on their faces.
This week, the weather’s been a mixed bag but it’s looking a bit better next week.
Which is great news, because the clocks go forward an hour on Sunday, giving us another hour of daylight in the evening.
No more huddling round the fire and binge watching Landman. It’s time for country walks with the dogs, going down to the beach at West Bay and just enjoying being outside without the heavens opening and grey skies threatening to dampen our spirits.
So remember when you go to bed on Saturday night to put your clock forward an hour.
Can’t wait!
Have a great weekend.
Love, Maddie x
