It's grey out there and yesterday I had to put the heating on. But it's June, as of today. My favourite month because that's when the sun shines in Wales. At least, it did for the last couple of years according to my weather diary. Everything else is early this year. Bluebells before my birthday. Swallows before my neighbour/ex-husband's. But we did have sun in April, so I suppose it came early too, in a way. And now I'd like it back again. I do hope June doesnt let me down. It's usually the only month I dont wish we lived in Andalucia instead of Wales. But I shouldnt complain. We have a big patch of spotty marsh orchids in the back field and yesterday they were covered with common blue butterflies, my Mother said. I'm interpreting this not just as flowers coming early and the onward progression of climate change, but also the result of our efforts in better grazing management. Not sure CCW would agree but without my beloved Shamara (RIP) we are down to three equines instead of four and I guess that helps.
Pirates of the Caribbean tonight. Second viewing but you can never get too much Penelope Cruz in my opinion. This one is much more Zorro/Catherine Zeta Jones than the previous Pirates. Makes you (me) want to take up fencing.
that is very interesting :)
