Today is my mother-in-law’s birthday, I can’t tell you which one because I would be in big trouble, but Happy Birthday, Mary!
We made a visit to the bird reserve in Conwy and had a rather good cup of hot chocolate in the cafe, anyway on the way out I spotted this patch of cowslips. Apparently the name comes from the Old English for cowpat, – “cuslyppe” because it grows in meadows used by cows. According to legend, St Peter dropped the keys to Heaven and where they landed Cowslips grew.
