Some would say that March 1st is the first day of spring. My Grandad was one of those people: today would have been his birthday. After the chills of last March, I am a little more circumspect about declaring the seasons to have turned. Nevertheless, St David’s day certainly signals a shift. It’s the beginning of the end for winter: the wind’s breath just a little warmer, the sunshine just a little brighter.
It was particularly bright today, such a tonic to feel the rays on our faces. The eldest boys spent the morning with my parents, leaving D and I free to wander the farmers’ market, with the baby engaged and cheerful in the sling on D’s back. It was a welcome treat to spend a quiet morning together, to drink a leisurely cup of tea and to linger over all the temptations that the market had to offer.
Hello, March. You are so welcome.
What a lovely farmers market you went to! We had a lovely outdoorsy day today, too. Good job, as the forecast for tomorrow doesn’t look promising!
this was such a joy to read!
I’m not convinced winter has had its last throw of the dice but at least March brings hope of better weather.

Happy March to you and your family, Laura!
What a lovely way to start Spring. Lets hope the weather continues to improve 🙂
love the market photos.
it does feel very much like spring here today and yet, the cold is coming back for the next few days. we’re going to have a very frigid mardi gras!
Lovely pictures. March definitely feels like it has brought a sense of spring along with it, and I too, am glad it is here!
March is a lovely month, it certainly felt like spring this weekend. X
