This morning the sun is shining so it is a great morning to take a look at the gardens to see what needs doing after the winter. I still have some snowdrops in the large stone trough by the back door, although it is pretty shady there because of the year round clematis growing over the pergola. The first show of daffodils lines the drive and, when they are over, a second wave will emerge taking us right through to April.

The ducks, chickens and eggs that roam in the meadow have started laying. It seems a bit early but it must be the result of the fantastic couple of weeks of bright and sunny weather we have just experienced, getting nature off to a quick start this year. During Spring at Bwlch Tre Banau it is fun to watch everything spring to life - birds starting to nest in the hedgerows and trees and fullsome pink blossom on the peach trees in the greenhouse.

The orangery http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/the-orangery.html is the perfect place to unwind at the weekend with the newspapers, a good book or some sudoko. For computer buffs we now have really fast satellite broadband in the cottages so while on holiday you can keep in touch with friends, family and business. Isn't modern life great, you can be in a haven of peace and tranquility but still make sure everything in your life runs smoothly and efficiently while you are away. Real freedom.
