Fair weather?

 The storms have gone and, although there is a bitter wind, the sun shines and spring is promised. Only two trees came down in the village as the various storms raged, along with a great deal of brash - good kindling for everyone! The snowdrops are up, seemingly impervious to anything that the weather brings. 

 I picked my first camellia flower of the season, 'Lavinia Maggee' and wandered round the garden to see what other blossom I could find.










The small pear tree is covered in moss, a sure indication of how much rain we have received this winter.
I've looked out my seed packets ready to swing into action. It's a promising time of year.

  1. Just love the snowdrops. I am going to check my seeds today but for winter crops.

    1. Yes, snowdrops are great, so delicate looking yet obviously as tough as old boots!

  2. The camellia flower is gorgeous! Here, daffies, crocus and snowdrops are making the gardens a joy to look at, and I have spotted the first tender mini leaves on a hedge. The first of March tomorrow, so even the frosty nights we are experiencing right now are soon going to be a thing of the past (I hope).
