Spring - maybe.

Bob and I went up into Flowerdale again today, and when we came down the side of the big house (photographed yesterday) we were greeted by the beautiful sight of a sea of snowdrops.

In my own garden, the crocuses are out, and the little tete-a-tete daffodils are also coming out. I really want to say to them - Get back in there! You're too early! There is no guarantee that Winter has let go of its grip.

Seeing these snowdrops does brighten the heart, and make us look forward to brighter and longer days.
