Spring is springing - at last - and it's wonderful

[PistachioTiramisu]

How wonderful it is that the darkness is lifting, the morning and evenings are getting lighter, the birds are singing their little hearts out, flowers and shrubs are starting to green up. I feel a million times better than in those horrible dark, gloomy, rainy days from November to February. Spring really does lift the spirits and makes you feel happier!

It makes me sp much happier!
I haveva few crocuses up. Hellebore is covered in flowers and one of my favourite things is that a blackcurrant 'bush' (which was just a twig really last year) has the beginnings of leaves which smell...well just like blackcurrants!

Early spring is the most incredible time of the year. By summer you take the sunshine and the leaves for granted, but in early spring everything is so magical and even 10 degree weather feels like the height of summer. It’s my absolute favourite time of year.

Agreed! It makes such a huge difference, everything feels easier and more hopeful somehow.

As of yesterday my pond is full of frogs and frogspawn, which means we get the excitement of watching the tadpoles develop and grow, and I get to lie in bed at night listening to them croak and chirp as I fall asleep😍
