Well, it has been a long Winter hasn't it?

Spring is definately on it's way now though. The snowdrops are out in their beautiful drifts and the wonderful, colourful crocus's are starting to open.

It always amazes me that the slightly longer days that we've been enjoying can have such a dramatic effect on on our plant life and that snowdrops are waiting for the temperature to reach 6 to 7 degrees centigrade so that they can burst through the cold ground.

It won't be long now before we start to see the narcissi and hyacinths showing colour but until then here's a little jug of cheer..
