Just in the nick of time for Saint David's Day, a handful of daffodils have opened in the garden this morning. The cold winter we've had has set many plants back - for example the snowdrops at Halfway Up A Hill are only now really in full swing. Yet this morning is bright and sunny and full of birdsong; the first few daffodils are shining brightly and little purple clusters of crocuses I had forgotten planting are peeping up through the grass. I can hear lambs bleating on the hills, and extravagant tassels of hazel catkins dance in the hedge with the slightest breeze.
Oh yes, spring is here alright - croeso i gwanwyn!**

** Welcome to spring!
No daffodils here yet though a couple of buds are just starting to show colour but I've been to my allotment this afternoon and it does begin to feel like spring.

OH! This made me remember being in England and Wales the spring I visited you. I landed in England and there were daffodils and magic everywhere.
