Spring is coming - the veil is thin!
![Spring is in the air here at Treargel. The daffodils are in abundance and the primroses are starting to appear.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/58c02b_6150005f87694907a9d00bce3ac9f5e6~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_110,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/58c02b_6150005f87694907a9d00bce3ac9f5e6~mv2_d_3264_2448_s_4_2.jpg)
Whilst it doesn't really look like it from this picture - taken this week with an atmospheric sea mist rising - spring is most definitely in the air. We have planted 1000 bluebells in the wood and can spot signs of new life all around us.
A recent retreat guest described our Labyrinth as having a 'thin veil'. This term is hard to describe but as far as I understand it, describes a place which has a bit of spiritual umph or je ne sais quoi about it. I found some websites which provide a more eloquent explanation than mine. Come and experience this 'thin veil' for yourself soon!
