The full moon is rising behind the neighbour's tall trees on a cold evening. It's called a Wolf Moon, and it's a super-full moon! (Though there are no wolves in Cornwall.) There will be a frost tonight, I think. There's a lot of work to do this year. I'm not getting any younger. I must finish my books.

Forget the storm. Today, the weather is better. There are flowers in my garden - a few primroses (among the dead leaves) and a lot of camellias. There aren't any new leaves on the trees yet but already, in a hazel tree in the hedge, I can see the first catkins (lamb's tails).

The winter was very wet, too much rain. It was very windy, too many storms. But the plants are happy. The wind blew seeds all around. Now there are tree seedlings and new primroses on the lawn. There are flowers and buds on older bushes. There's a red camellia between an apple tree and a pear tree. The daffodils are looking towards the sunrise, in the east.
