As the snowdrops bow their heads to make way for the daffs, with blue skies and the much missed sun it feels like spring has sprung, thank goodness! Tractors hum, busy with ploughing and chainsaws thunder in the woods for the last of the felling. Bev's lambs bleat happily in the top fields and we were in heaven with warmth on our faces!

Ben has a new toy, surprise, it's a lathe! Very sweet little one, for precision business, so watch this space! I'm cutting hazel for a settee, and hopefully a rustic sunlounger! With the car breaking down and a wagon due to come in for painting next week, I'm keen to start the woody things, but I have a feeling it may get put on hold....early to bed, early to rise!
