I don't really care for Flower Fairies, but i'm in such a pleasant mood!

the first snowdrops are finally appearing, just in time for Candlemas, as i walk thru' cliffe castle to work.

I walked REALLY REALLY slowly as there was that particular low winter sun that makes everything appear golden, especially the bare trees; their mossy bark was radiant in that light; its impossible to capture in words, photograph,paint and it only lasts a few moments...

then I had 3 workshops to present; all worked well and the icing on today's cake is that Tim & Jack are home from their Austrian adventures, safe & sound, with lots of stories of fabulous snow & mountain slopes.
