The weather may not be Spring like, but it was lovely to see daffodils in bloom and the lambs out in the fields as I drove round Wales. It got me to thinking about the news that children these days cannot identify 3 different butterflies or know an oak tree from a horse chestnut! I may be old fashioned, but I still think these things are important and I wish they still took primary school children out on nature walks.
How else are they going to know what dragonflies and damselflies are - so beautiful with their iridescent colours and elongated bodies. I find them fascinating, hovering over ponds and streams and then turning so quickly and darting away in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately there is one particular damselfly that stays still long enough for you to enjoy it - our lovely stockist in Louth, Lincolnshire. If you live nearby or are visiting the area, please go and visit Damselfly Kitchen, where you will find the Netherton Foundry cast iron products and a whole range of other goodies! This has to be in the running for most evocative shop name and you can be guaranteed a warm welcome and great service once you walk through the door.
Update: sadly this shop has stopped selling cookware and is no longer a Netherton stockist

Looking forward to warmer weather, so that I can use the new Netherton Foundry Garden Hob, without having to wear a woolly jumper - check out the website for more information.
