Birthday treat!

I never dreamt I'd have a white birthday but when I looked out of the window this morning it was. I can't recall this happening before, and I've had a lot of them.

I headed for Cardigan hoping it would be even whiter there. Through the windows of the bus I could see that the Preseli hills to the south were snow-covered but further north, to my surprise, the Teifi valley and Cardigan town were completely clear.

It was cold though and first stop was my favourite café (to give it a plug, it's in the Fforest outdoor activity shop beside the bridge) where the coffee is good and strong and the seating couldn't be more comfortable (leather, with reindeer pelts and Welsh tapestry.)

So here I am with a chocolate brownie and the birthday cards that arrived today. I was touched to be called a wonderful mother and a wonderful sister in the same post so thank you - you know who you are! And thanks to everyone else who remembered and sent greetings.
