It is! Spring is on the way! Please don't snow on the snowdrops!

After an unusually early bed time on Saturday night, I awoke with the lark on Sunday and at 815 decided to paint the ugly poo-brown fence at the end of the garden. And my god it looks good! I can see it now and it cheers me.

 The Hellebores are definitely at their height and almost blousy by their standards.

Here the Woody Bay Fennel is sprouting again. While I don't really enjoy eating Fennel I think it is a great garden plant - vigorous and with beautiful airy fronds.

 I wasn't sure about snowdrops but now that these have arrived I can see they they are very pretty.

Despite this next year I think I'll plant more fritillaries and crocuses to keep them rampant.

Mind you, these ones are quite rampant in their natural environment (not my garden, Jamie and I were out walking from this point).

 Now we're talking! Lovely crocuses on the Meadows!
