Pretty warm at any time of the year for here, but amazing for March.<\/p>\n<p>We made the most of it, spending almost all day outside, either working in the garden, inspecting the bees, building beehives, exercising or doing our bit for Sport Relief by running the mile in Aberystwyth. I&#8217;ll post about each of these activities later, but for now, here&#8217;s a nice photo of some springtime daffs from the garden yesterday.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9851\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Daffs.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9851\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9851\" title=\"Daffs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Daffs-480x360.jpg\" alt=\"Spring in the Garden\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Daffs-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Daffs-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Daffs.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9851\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spring in the Garden<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry for the lack of updates here over the past few days, but the weather has just been far too nice.
