Surely Spring must be nearby.....(1)

....it's foolish of me, meteorologically there is another month of winter left but deep in the earth things are stirring.  Anywhere that grows them is advertising that their snowdrops are out and on a trip out to Myddleton Hall l also saw crocus, acconites, and one daffodil.
Just got up peeked out the window - blue sky, sun is shining - and the biggest, deepest frost!

Having said that yesterday was very cold indeed, l went out for a newspaper and that was my only outdoor foray.
