Obligatory

Every year I feel obliged to post a photograph of our garden snowdrops, usually around the end of January. This year we have a splendid display, which has already been long-lasting as the first flowers were open on New Year's Day. The crocuses are rapidly catching up, and with the mild temperatures it's feeling extremely spring-like.

I'm posting early today, as I'm off to Dorset later this afternoon, for a meeting tomorrow. Fortunately I'm not doing the driving!
