First warm Day!!!







Yesterday was the most perfect spring day and the temperature rose to a unbelievable 17degrees so spent an afternoon pottering in the garden and admiring my favourite plant - the Lenten Rose- which has just come into flower....


My Pieris is fantastic at this time of the year and is just a mass of creamy white blossom- no wonder it is called the" lily of the valley" plant! It is in bloom quite early this year and is a joy to look at...


And my bucket of hyacinths are in full bloom and smell divine - it is good for the soul to spend time in the garden with time to think ..and watch my favourite bird- the blackbird - collecting nesting material - hope they succeed this year as they usually get chased away from their patch by the bossy magpies!!
