Here we are in 2010. Happy New Year to all. Having struggled through all that snow and ice, which was so pretty at the beginning but soon outstayed it's welcome, I have been out in the garden today, the bulbs are coming up and the clematis is shooting. I can detect the first feeling of spring in the air. I know that nasty things like frost and gales will still happen but it cheered me up no end. The workshop has been neglected in the cold weather and I am looking forward to getting back to work. The event I always look forward to is the Cornwall Spring Flower Show in Boconnoc near Lostwithiel,( 10th and 11th of April) I really enjoy talking to the visitors, meeting those I see every year and of course selling things!
