Eily’s Report – 24th January

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to my weekly Report.

What a difference a day makes, moreover what a difference a fine day makes.  The air is lighter, the skies are brighter and never fails to put spring in your step. Having come through so many dark wet and dismal days, who could be blamed for being prepared to face more of the same on rising in the morning. The plan ahead comprising of more things to do indoors and keep abreast of danger of getting the ‘downs’. But the first day of this week changed all that, notions of doing anything inside were quickly cast aside  as the warm sun beckoned. An early wash and to see the washing waving in the soft breeze on the line for the first time in ages was a thrill in itself. I firmly believe that even the birds love to see us out. The little robin who has been begging for grub month after month on the window sill, conveyed me  going from bush to bush with it’s cheerful song while I scanned the flower beds to see how my poor garden looked after all that rain. Never ones to disappoint, the daffodils are up strong. As well as the wild garlic and I even spotted a little primrose doing it’s best  to push up through the rotting leaves. A few more days of this could see us making some real improvements in the garden. Moving some of last seasons pots out of view never fails to improve the look and soon we may even probe down through the rotting leaves etc to see if the little seeds and nuts that we put down in the Fall are making their own battle with the elements to surprise us with some new growths for the coming season. While the morning fog may be the detriment of road users especially early risers, it can weave a spell for those like me who have time to look out and study it’s comings and goings in the neighbourhood. It comes and goes in the still air, turning woods and hedges into a fairyland all of their own sometimes it comes right up close and as it were pulls down the curtains all around and then it lifts off and goes away again.
