I am writing this towards the end of February with glorious sunshine and a beautiful blue sky. My snowdrops are flowering and a few of my crocuses too. It reminds me of a song we sing at I Have A Voice Too! – Wonderful World.

I love walking along the canal towpath listening to the birds singing. They seem to have a favourite tree to congregate so it can get a little noisy. Watching the swans take off strikes me as amazing, how does such a big bird do it from a surface so unstable as water? Pity I just do not seem to get my camera positioned correctly to capture this wonderful experience.

Starbucks is our latest coffee shop in Market Square – we are spoilt for choice.

Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Have you kept them up? Mine are a work in progress. We always have a choice, you don’t have to wait until January 2024 to make new ones.
