3rd February
There is a definite feeling of spring in the air now that we have reached the festival of Candlemas. This last week has seen some startlingly blue skies and wonderfully warm sunshine during the day, once the early mist has lifted and the frost starts to melt. Down by the river Ceira the birds are busy, and it is a joy to hear their songs on a sunny morning, while little daffodils have started blooming on the bank below the castle hill. Soon it will be Carnaval once again – this year just two days after St.Valentine’s day – and we will know that the winter is over and the days are stretching out towards the delights of summer.
