I know the snow is brewing at home (still!) but the daffys have been in full bloom for weeks now...Love when Spring arrives at the right time of year and not months late!

Homecoming parades were held this week for the Royal Irish Regiment on their return home from a seven month Afghanistan tour. One was held in the town by the base, and one in our town. It was an awesome to see the Regiment marching through the towns, and the community support for the troops. Welcome home boys.

With the weather being so nice, we decided to get out and enjoy the sun. Today brought a hill walk (or hike if you are Canadian) up the Long Mynd, one of the hills in the local area. Excellent way to spend the day.

The day started off with some mist, but turned into a really nice day with a high of 18. What could you do on a day like today?

Enjoy a pint at the pub...

Lay around the Quarry and have a picnic...

Or go for an afternoon bike ride along the river...

Yum yum yum!!!! Homemade sushi- becoming a bit more adventurous this time around. It's those darn inside out rolls I have to work on getting tigter. This time around also had some homemade sweet chili sauce- amazing!

Finally. The days have been getting warmer, and that cool winter breeze is warming up as well. I reckon give those trees a week and they will be in full swing.

However not complaining about a cool breeze every now and then, as the folks at home are dealing with yet another spring snowstorm. Yuck!

It's been a while since my domestic goddess skills have kicked in. Today a little baking occurred to welcome a certain someone home :)
