The Lady in Pink

A very happy new year to you all! Blwyddyn newydd dda! Buon anno!

New year's eve Younger Son cooked for us again and we saw in 2019 tucked up and asleep in bed. Then, to start the new year as I mean to go on - perhaps - I joined Nuora and family for a walk Younger Son was leading around Pontardawe.

It started outside the Arts Centre

and took us along the river, back along the canal 

and then up into the woods for hot drinks and biccies.

Grandson4's little legs meant we lagged behind a bit and drove up into the woods to join the walkers later but the weather was mild and the sun actually came out for a short while.

At one point I overheard Younger Son pointing me out to one of his main group: she's the one in pink doing aeroplane impressions. Could I be an embarrassment? Nah!

Meanwhile in our garden these daffodil shoots demonstrate hope over experience. 

The weather has lured them out early: there may be frost in a month or so. Also the position they're in - on a corner bed - mean they are liable to be trampled over by George or, indeed, dug up by squirrels. 

Let's all opt for hope and something different this year. Whatever our circumstances have been let's not be hardened by them but challenged and hopeful for better days ahead.

Again, a very happy new year to you all! Blwyddyn newydd dda! Buon anno!
