Hooray – today's the First Day of Spring, the sun is shining and it's St David's Day – a fine excuse for some fun and games … I took a Welsh flag and some mulled wine to have before play. When we got to the Boulodrome the Park was very very busy – Rugby and Hockey were in full swing with hundreds of kids running around, and Football too.
Only 16 of us - some wearing daffodils, A with a leek - turned up to play boules but it was SO windy, and the wind was icy cold …. Oh well, so much for Spring! We didn't have a melee because the wind would have blown everything away, so we just threw in for opponents and partners and did out best not to get blown over.
We stopped after three games for some mulled wine (which we had to pour very carefully to stop it blowing away!) and home. The weather forecast says it will get warmer after the 15th. Can't wait …
I was going to take a picture of the flag, and all of us, but the wind was so strong, the flag was a blur!
