Just a little sunshine ...

It only takes a little sunshine and this sort of thing happens ...

It's nice to know that spring is most definitely on it's way :flower:
Since moving here 14 years ago the earliest those daffodils have been in flower was the 30th of December and the latest was the first week of February, so it looks like the season is just a shade late.

A walk in the garden certainly has the power to cheer you up. :sunny:

Wow! Well I have snowdrops so after that 2 week freeze they are a wonderful thing to see. My bulbs are coming up too though it'll be Feb I expect before anything starts flowering but I'm happy to wait.

What I do love so much here is the long long spring (though probably not nearly as long as yours Odsox!).

Such a lovely thing to see after all this frost!
