More colour in the garden

The sunshine has encouraged this little clump to bloom, and very welcome it is too.

Made a tasty orange, carrot and ginger soup today and there is not a single bowl left for me to put in the freezer, which must be a good sign.
Everyone was complaining that even though the sun was shining it was very cold.  Being the hostess means I don't have to go out to find out.

Just taken out a mortgage to renew my car insurance - does anything ever go DOWN in price?
