Come on Spring!


As we face a week of Siberian weather, I thought I'd take a few quick pictures of the pretty crocuses in my garden before they get covered with snow again!

These brave, delicate little flowers are some of the first to appear. I don't know how they do it! It was -3 degrees C in the garden this morning, yet with the first few rays of sunshine, they are blooming and lighting up the garden like mini torches. Just brilliant.


The tulips and daffodils are only half way up. They should be ok in the bitter weather we are expecting. I hope the Sweet Williams will survive too.


I put the Sweet Williams in the box to overwinter, ready for planting out when the weather warms up.




Millie popped her head outdoors this morning, for a little while.  She is an old lady now and doesn't like to be cold!
