Very best wishes to all readers for a happy and peaceful Christmas Time. Certainly no Christmas snow’s going to fall this year on the county’s meadows, and whilst it’s a time when you’d be hard pressed to tell a flower rich meadow, from a more intensive one, maybe the activities of some of the wildlife which shares these space with us, gives us a clue that for them a wildflower meadow holds greater appeal…

We even had a Welsh hornet visit our valley yesterday, to trace and sort out a power outage problem in a local overhead line, in advance of today’s arrival of Storm Barabara…Three Christmas Cheers for Western Power Distribution, and that amazing helicopter pilot.

Batten down the hatches and keep warm.

Nadolig Llawen. Happy Christmas
