The winds of March are very gentle here at the moment.
ReplyDeleteA lovely illustration. I must get a copy of The Flower Fairies for myself.
ReplyDeleteWell March has certainly come in like a lamb lets hope that doesn't mean a spell of bad weather at the end of the month. I love the poeticus narcissi in the illustration. You've reminded me to go and search for my flower fairy book.
ReplyDeleteAnna, what a lovely quote for the Muse and a breath of nostalgia for spring and childhood
