Rainy.

With the whole day at home and light but steady rainfall, (it got heavier later on), there was no option but to get on with chipping off the artex from the shelter wall. I'm sure it is stuck on a lot more firmly than the artex that was on the back wall where I made the mirror. I don't remember it being such hard work to get off when I did that wall back in the summer. The frogs in the little pond were happily croaking away in the pond and some of the birds seemed to be singing spring-time songs.

Last winter this bunch of daffodils on the stream bank were flowering just after Christmas (before the snow). This year everything is green but I'll have to wait a little longer for the flowers.

The lawn down by the stream is also green, bright green from all the moss growing in it. Perhaps the grass will spread now that I've cut down the overhanging branches that were shading that corner.
