Spring is springing!

Pottering about (very!) briefly in the garden, I noticed signs of life. The crocuses (or is that croci? It doesn't sound right but that means very little) are starting to pop their heads above the cold, damp ground.

On a bitter, dark day with a few flurries of snow during a winter that seems to have gone on forever, it's nice to see that life is carrying on and spring really will make an appearance soon/
