St. Bride’s Day
Today is St. Bride’s Day: Imbolc, the feast of Spring’s awakening. On this day Adders abandon their winter lairs and Oystercatchers appear bringing spring with them! Hooray! It still looks grey and miserable outside nonetheless; still, if it’s Imbolc then its Imbolc and that’s an end to it.
And in the spirit of all this we’re busy buying in assorted native flora for major planting projects down on the Lukely Brook (part of our urban river work) and out on the Medina where we’re creating a fab picnic spot at Merstone Station.
There’s loads more besides of course – have a look at the Feb newsletter and let us know if there’s anything that interests you.
