    Things that have made you happy today 2026

    I didn’t notice this had sprung up between the snowdrops! I love these, I’d planted a couple two years ago, but thought they had given up. So pleased to see them.

    What's your weather like 2026

    We are in our caravan on the top of an exposed hill in the Clwydians. 9 out there and the wind is lifting. We have squally showers. It's quite dramatic but we are battened down and warm.
