Spring is bouncing along.
I can now say that I am not ashamed of it and that its amazing what a few days can do to change what was a rather overgrown allotment into a haven of paradise! (maybe thats a bit extreme, but when you hear those birds chatting away and Mr Robin comes to say hello, the sun shining and worms big and juicy wiggling through freshly dug soil - yep, paradise!)
The photo's above are of some snowdrops that grow in my garden - can anyone help me as they are really long! Is this possible or have I a rare breed growing here?!
Its lovely when they flower as I know that spring is on its way. I am a person who loves every season, winter does not get me down and I have to say Autumn is my favourite. Does anyone share my theory that what ever season is your fav usually tends to be around the time of year you were born? JP loves spring - he was a May baby, I love Atumn and I was an October baby!
As its been half term I have been doing things that the boys wanted to get up to - Our first day was a visit to our favourite (mmm, using that word too much in this post!) town - Lewes and of course Lewes Castle. We have a free years pass so great in my books! But you can't go to Lewes without coming home empty handed, such gorgeous shops. Hence my little birdy! They had lots of brown and grey ones, but this little lady was the one!
Anyway, less dribble, just a quick peek of my winter display on the mantle, can't get rid of it!
Must go and get some cookies out of the oven - boys eat so much!

I agree with your theory that our favourite seasons are connected to our birthdates. Spring is my favourite (March birthday), I just love the newness of it all, and my husband (August birthday) enjoys the heat of summer while I search out the shade.

Lovely photos of the snowdrops...We have some very tall ones in the garden that my sister gave me...I'm sure that they're just a different variety, but don't know the name.

Hope you are 'milking' mother's day and being spoilt.

From a cut flower point of view they last longer in a vase than snowdrops do.
