Glory of the snow

Scilla, or Chionodoxa, plants keep changing names! Whichever name you know it as though it's very pretty. This is the little Coalport vase which I bought the other day in Stockbridge. The pattern is Divinity Blue and I thought it was just right, I can see it with pansies and sweet peas in it too, later in the year.
This morning our local library held its community fair. It's working very hard to become a local hub and it's very welcoming. There are local knitting groups, a team who look after the gardens, children's events, story telling, meet the author events. When I went along (on foot) the car park was full and there was a real buzz. People chatting over tea and coffee and home baking, children listening to stories, doing Easter crafts and having their faces painted. I've attached the poster just as a reminder, the event is over. Ours is a community of long drives and closed doors and people who work out of area so it's great to have opportunities to get together like this. Well done! I do think this is a post-covid benefit, encouraging local interaction and it's great.
