Tomorrow is the pagan festival of Imbolc...the beginning of the change from winter to spring. Winter is a time of resting, enduring the winter's cold until Spring comes again. When the first shoots of new growth appear, it's a time for reawakening and renewal. Perhaps it may be a time for us to reacquaint ourselves with nature too. This planet, which we borrow for our lifetimes and hopefully protect for the lifetimes of those after us, is full of special places - be it woodland, a beach, a mountain or even your own back garden. Take a little time to treasure a special place or find a new one!
Later this week, our government will decide the fates of some of our precious woodlands --let us hope that common sense will prevail and that 50 or 100 years from now those woodlands will still be intact and that we can all still enjoy those special places.
