As we march into March we can anticipate the feeling that spring is coming
When
the primroses poke through, and the bumble bees forage and start humming.
We
can look forward to the Gloucester triangle being filled with wild flowers and
daffodils
Creating
a splendid vision to behold with their vibrant colours and ruffled frills!
There
is a hint of longer days prompting the desire for a brisk woodland walk or a
gentler stroll
Which
is wonderful not only for the body and mind but also for the heart and soul!
March
is also the month to show all Mother’s our love and appreciation,
With
perhaps a small gift, a lunch out or a stunning floral creation!
At
The Moda House we are gearing up to flip a pancake or three to eat,
Served
with lots of gorgeous goodies both savoury and sugary sweet!
So
let’s enjoy the prospect of the clocks going forward and the breath of April
stirring,
And
come to stay for a few days in Chipping Sodbury and to see ‘what’s occurring’!
Ah May – the month that tantalises us with the promise of sunshine, showers and eccentric traditions,
From dancing around May poles and the wacky cheese rolling chase with people falling in all positions!
It is time to think about bedding plants, vegetables and herbs to create an oasis of colour and greenery,
Plus the arrival of bluebells as a sign that the approach of summer is gathering pace with stunning scenery!
Here we have Spanish inspired music and a production of The Adams Family and The Lady in the Van,
And nearby Acton Court will be open for tours to see where Henry V111 visited with his second wife Anne!
Jools Holland, McFly and Sophie Ellis Bextor are amongst a great group performing in nearby Yate
Ensuring a few days of entertainment and music that will be fun for all and should be really first rate!
Up at Badminton House the famous annual Horse Trials take place with visitors from far and wide,
Enjoying the chance to see the thrills and spills of the events whilst enjoying the magnificent countryside.
Hooray! – Spring is on the way with longer and brighter days resulting in a dose of natural light,
Which is so important for health and happiness and making us feel a bit better than just alright!
We can open up the windows, give everything a good airing and begin a ‘de clutter’ campaign
To re charge the batteries, lift our mood and make us feel refreshed, renewed and almost humane!
We can enjoy the infectiously cheery songs by the birds and watch the plants and trees bounce back,
And finally pack away the heavy overcoat, scarves and gloves for a colourful lightweight anorak!
Here in Chipping Sodbury, we have more concerts, a Carpenters Experience and an 80’s Rock Show,
Plus the very first Sodbury Yarn Over Festival with a chance to see demonstrations and to say ‘hello’!
Badminton House is opening its gardens for all to explore and to see the Spring colour palette show
As we prepare for the unpredictable April weather of mini heatwaves, sharp winds, rain and even snow!
Hopefully the grip of Winter is firmly behind us as the days slowly get longer and lighter,
With the birds sing louder and louder, and we can finally get the feeling of all things brighter!
The earth pulls at us all to stir and move, and to start making plans and prepare for new goals
As we can begin to think about putting the boots away in readiness for the shorts and plimsolls!
We have the long Easter weekend to enjoy, plus St David’s and St Patricks day, and Mothering Sunday
And a chance to spoil her rotten with perhaps a meal more gourmet, and a stunning floral display!
In Chipping Sodbury we have concerts, a gala dinner for the RNLI, plays and the spring MOP Funfair,
Plus further afield The Gold Cup, and bread making at the Badminton Estate complete with crafty cookware!
So let’s enjoy the clocks going forward and the arrival of the glorious daffodils to make us all smile,
And plan a trip to our lovely town to explore, plus a visit at The Moda House and stay for a wee while!
