Surf’s Up!

We are now getting more of these bright sunny days to relieve us from the cold blasting winds from the east or the rolling fogs that creep in over the waters from the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic ocean. The constant winter rains have soaked into the earth and, together with the spring’s warmth, have created the magical conditions for growth. The flourishing terraces are already full to bursting and the arum lillies are a real showstopper.

The agapanthuses grow wild here and they are another welcome sign of spring. Down in the secret garden, they have sprung into life and are getting their purple pompom heads ready for next month.

With the sun’s warmth, the buds are breaking out all over. The clematises and wisterias are promising many pink and purple flowers as they bask in the bright light.

The hard work season is coming with the repairs to the storm damaged walls and the veggies to be planted – spuds and garlic are going in this week. And my manuscript is ready. More news to follow on the tome and Many Thanks to the readers who commented on the draft opening chapters.

Come back next time to find out what has burst into life in May.
