…well, I hope it’s permanent! I woke up this morning to a fairly hard frost but it soon changed to bright sunshine so perhaps Spring is here. Such a difference to the last few days of sleet and drizzle so…….

The sun was warm (although I was wearing a fleece!) and it was lovely to be able to spend time in the garden. The ground is still very wet but I tried to stick to the paths as much as possible and stayed off the lawn. I now have three very large bags of garden rubbish for recycling. The biggest bonus was finding the ladybirds :)
