Dearest Diary,

Winter is almost over!

Does it seem strange to you that although my favourite colour is white, winter is not my favourite season? I certainly glow when out and about in the cold air, though, don’t I?

While I DO adore Winter and all it has to offer (ice-skating!! I’ll get to that in a heartbeat, I promise) I can’t wait to resume my garden and see what new plants I can bring to life.

The Winter Festival is still in full swing and I took it upon myself to try my legs at ice-skating this morning. The ice was wonderful - it makes the most beautiful sound as you skirt across its surface in your skates - and I soon learnt the basics.

If I ever get tired of gardening, Diary, I think I’d like to be a professional skater. An angel of the ice…

A handful of icy snowflakes just for you,
