Whats going on
Today has been such a warm sunny one I ran on the coastpath first thing. The otters were out too enjoying being photographed by the keen observers.I am becoming a bit too complacent, I see these lovely playful creatures and am mindful that they are now always there, so I don't get too excited. It was very windy on the cliffs and the waves were mountainous,a slight chill in the air, but no snow on the Preselis. I had a message from my friend Glynis on the Isle of Jura, snow on the Paps! surely not, my nasturtium are still flowering and the Hydranga still think its summer. As a precaution though I mulched the wedding bed to protect the Dahlia, I discovered a primrose in flower up on the bank and there are daffodils in flower in the village. Strange goings on.....In many ways the unpredicability of global warming has its appeal we never know what we might find, the seasons are confused. The cat has been lounging in the greenhouse thinking its summer. I am planning my garden for next year, warm fires, glass of red, oh the joys of planning. Thank goodness we bought the wedding gown last week, one less thing to worry about. Rachel is very pleased, we had an amazing experience and have been feeling very pleased with ourselves. Now to plan the next bit, rethinking the flower arrangements slightly. Now what colours do I need to be thinking about!
