We're hearing a lot at the moment about how mild this Winter has been so far (careful, we've a way to go yet . . . ) and I can certainly say that according to our garden, Spring is already trying to put in an appearance.
I took these few shots on a lovely sunny day - Bank Holiday Monday (2nd January). Our camellia is a mass of buds, many ready to burst as the one above which has already opened.
It looks as if these daffs by the front door will be open well in time for St David's Day . . .
I know Browning is not to everybody's taste and can be a bit sentimental but when I come home after a hard day and I see these flowers shooting ahead, it really makes me think, 'God's in His heaven - All's right with the world!'
The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All's right with the world!

And sice then we've had snow, sun, and snow. What result in the garden?
I hope you're keeping well. I visit often ... but no new posts!
God bless.
Thanks for your comments Little Brother and Victor.
I've decided to more or less have a break from blogging.
I'm just too busy at the moment. Also, I do feel I don't really have anything much to say and can't imagine that many people are interested in my day to day activities.
I may post something after Easter when I have a bit more time.
Thank you for your interest :-)
