Meanwhile in New Zealand ...

... a girl and her unicorn head to the sea. How gorgeous is this! I'm so envious as we continued to be battered and blown and really it hasn't got light today. Not all gloom though for I did nip out to Ballydehob and have a coffee with M who is shortly on her way back to Canada, having spent several years in Ireland - mixed feelings but mainly excitement I think.
The only other excitement is I have two clumps of snowdrops up - thrilling to see. I shall speak to them nicely and hope they don't get battered by the storm or eaten the minute they open fully - I'm not sure what does that but it happens every year..
