\nThis week over here in Ireland
\nwe have said goodbye to winter and welcomed the arrival of spring. Spring
\narrives a whole month earlier to Ireland
\nbefore the UK
\nand a good month and a half before it hits the US.
\nThis is due to Irish Catholic tradition decreeing that St Brigid brings Spring
\neach year on February 1st<\/sup>. The boys delighted in telling me all
\nabout this after their special school assembly last week.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe weather isn\u2019t feeling particularly spring-like yet, it
\nwas 0.5 degrees on the school run on Tuesday. But the garden is starting to show
\nsigns of new life, which is a sure sign of the new season. We planted a
\nselection of bulbs back in the autumn and little shoots are popping their heads
\nout of the gradually warming soil. The rhubarb plant that we planted out last
\nyear has just shown us its first new pink shoots as well. We didn\u2019t harvest any of it
\nlast year, as we were advised to leave it alone for the first year and not eat
\nthe first crop. This will leave us with a much stronger and more fruitful plant
\nthis year. Only time will tell on this, but we sure are looking forward to our
\nfirst Rhubarb crumble! Do you have any other good rhubarb recipes just in case
\nwe do get a bumper crop?<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe celebrated the publication of our final winter craft of
\nthe season earlier this week. We were approached by Wayfair.co.uk last year to
\nwrite then an article to on Inspiration page of their website. We sent along a
\ntutorial on how to make a snowman picture using leftover packaging materials.
\nClick here <\/a>to have a read.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe are looking ahead to spring now in our activities and
\ncrafts and have put together our Spring Bucket List<\/a>, which we will be working
\nthrough over the coming months. What else would you add? And we have also had a go at our first spring arts
\nand crafts activity, Bubble wrap spring lambs<\/a>.
