St David's Day (60/365)

[white_hart]

Somehow we have already managed to get through two months of 2021, and while winter isn't quite over yet (unless you're a meteorologist and think seasons change on the first of the month instead of mid-month in a much less handy way) there are definitely signs that spring isn't far off. There's a real warmth to the sun now, at least when there is sun, and after a few warm days the snowdrops have all withered and, appropriately for St David's Day, the daffodils are coming into bloom.



I often walk past this tree stump and have been amused to observe the ever-changing collection of small plastic toys that occupy the hollow at the top of it. A couple of weeks ago I noticed there were also some green shoots poking out, and today there were daffodils. I do sometimes wonder who puts the things there, and why. To amuse people walking by? An informal toy exchange (though it's quite a way from the houses)? A shrine to the old gods?
