Happy New Year!
What a freezing start to 2009. It always amazes me that during such extreme temperatures there are plants and bulbs flowering. In my own garden this morning the fabulous Mahonia is looking very lovely with it's wonderful yellow tassles dazzling in the morning sunlight. The snowdrops and crocus's, of which there was no trace before Christmas, are close to flowering and the daffodils on the bank are now a good 6 inches tall.

Spring is just around the corner!
