St Brigid's Day

A St Brigid's cross, for St Brigid's day, traditionally the first day of Spring, although nowadays I notice the meteorological service tell us that Spring starts at the equinox, in about 7 weeks' time. The weather certainly doesn't feel like Spring today, so maybe they're right. I like to think that Spring has begun today though, it's a hopeful feeling.
And speaking of traditions, the cross is usually made of woven reeds, but this one is carved from peat.
