Spring watch

We're not shouting yet but ... it seems like Spring.  Yesterday we awoke to a lovely morning, clear blue sky, sun rising over the hills and, of course, birds singing loudly!

Sue and I went for a walk around the garden and were thrilled to see the start of the Spring flowers.

The first of 'Aunty Pauline's' Irises

We have a small group of snowdrops under the trees in front of the house and they are well in bloom.
At the other end of the bank we saw the first daffodil.

As we went down the side of the house to investigate the back field, we were bombarded by our bees who live in the wall of the house; they were going frantic in the sunshine!

In the Autumn we had planted more crocuses and suddenly we have a good display along the first part of the bank behind the 'Long' bed.

Finally, there was encouraging evidence of the show of daffodils we should have along the 'allée' from the bulbs we planted in the Autumn.

Isn't life so much better with some sun and a bit of colour?!
