Outside

It was really good to have so much time outside today. The Bug and the Bear particularly enjoyed seeing some friends they hadn't seen for a very long time, and spent much of the time talking monsters, their habitat, the different types, and concocting potions to defeat them, that consisted of bark, grass, stones and mud. But the option only worked if you cast your arms in a certain way.

I spent a bit of time cutting back old growth/flower stems from last year. The primulas look ready to burst, but so far it's just the witch hazel, snowdrops and snowflakes in bloom. The saxifrage is thinking about it.
