Let's breathe today and enjoy a little.
The daffodil and the leek are Welsh symbols for the day, dating back centuries. I'm a multiBrit by birth, grandparents from all four nations. English Irish Scottish Welsh. In alphabetical order, in case you wondered. So I get to celebrate everything. Just sayin.
For a lovely cheering few minutes, join Ant White on YouTube as he builds a hedgehog house
Here's the concrete bunny for White Rabbits
And another old friend, both seen on today's walk
I'm trying, I'm trying.
Cheese is the answer to a lot of questions.
My new header has the plate with some of the details from your Edith Holden page.
ReplyDeleteHappy St David's day!
Yes, I saw it. I love that book.
DeleteWhite Rabbits! Thank you for a peaceful post today. Blue skies for your walk, and I want to go to Cheese World too!

It was a short walk, but lovely sunshine in the 50s. There were a lot of downed branches from recent winds, so it was a bit of an obstacle course, nice nonetheless.
DeleteI was out for an errand. I smiled all the while and got a lot of smiles back. I felt like I offered some light. AND... I bought cheese!
ReplyDeleteGo you! Complete with cheese.
DeleteI agree: cheese is frequently the answer.
ReplyDeleteAnd so many kinds!
DeleteBeing outside is absolutely the best thing I do for myself although eating cheese seems to be an easier answer.
ReplyDeleteWhy not both??
DeleteThere is that...
DeleteI love the idea of a lot of Brit. Celebrate to the hilt, I say! I never had seen a klimt like that till I was at the interactive Klimt in Paris back about six years ago and they brought it in with projections to surround us. It was breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThere's more to Klimt than we often see. The old favorites tend to appear
DeleteI had never heard of White Rabbit on the first of the month until a couple bloggers said it. No clue what it means or where it is from. Good luck or something?
ReplyDeleteI am trying, too. :)
There are different versions, White Rabbits, rabbits and hares, rabbit rabbit. It's supposed to be the first thought of the day in order to bring luck all month.
Delete"MultiBrit" -- I haven't heard that term before, so thanks, I love it -- very handy. Now I can more accurately describe my heritage on my father's side as MultiBrit!
ReplyDeleteI made it up. Feel free to use it!
DeleteSo clever of you! Thanks!
DeleteI had the Edith Holden book. Whatever happened to it. Thieves in the night, aka a friend probably.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorites have vanished that way, too.
DeleteI agree. Cheese is the answer. Some lovely art there
ReplyDeleteYes, eating cheesecake while looking at art is a good combo.
DeleteCheese, not that other word pushtext inserted.
DeleteA house for a hedgehog, who knew. Still mourning the disappearance of my Country Diary book. One day I might just break down and buy another.
ReplyDeleteCheese - not supposed to eat it but I love it.
Definitely get another copy. It's endlessly good to browse through. Especially while eating cheese.
DeleteWhite rabbit to you, too, on a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope our white rabbits come through for us.
DeleteBlazing heat here today - soporific - intense light. Weather that melts cheese into a greasy puddle, but we did have a peppered Harvati with our evening meal. It turned out to be all pepper flavour and no cheese. Beautiful Klimt.
ReplyDeleteMaybe better than no cheese at all.
DeleteI hope the rabbits are doing what comes naturally - we need all the help we can get. 🐇🐇🐇
ReplyDeleteThe cheese remark reminded me of Mitchell's blog post with the magnets--one that read: "What if we just melted cheese over all our problems?" :)
ReplyDeleteI am a half Brit. In ancestry only. I'm all for cheese.
ReplyDeleteMmm, cheese. I gave my son a book on cheese for his birthday "The Complete Book of Cheese" with the history, hw it's made different varieties in different countries, plus recipes. He loves it.
