Spring has sprung in Ireland and it's great to see ' a stretch in the evening' as the days begin get longer.

February 1st is the feast of St Brigid, and on this day it is the tradition to weave a cross made from rushes, as a symbol of our Christian faith.

These Saint Brigid's crosses are often hung over the doorway to keep the house safe and bring good luck and blessings to everyone that crosses the threshold.

And just the other day whilst on the road, I took a quick rest stop, and a cheeky little robin perched on my wing mirror. It was lovely to see this beautiful little bird only inches away, and I was reminded that the robin is a bird of spring.

It flies into our lives at the turn of the season and signifies new growth and new beginnings. The robin's song is a happy one to bring joy to our hearts and reminding us to let go of our personal problems and to laugh with life.

What is your favourite thing about spring ??

Watching the new shoots starting to grow ?  The days getting longer ? The weather getting a little warmer ?

I will look forward to hearing from you, and I can't believe it's only a month until St Patrick's day.
