It seems to have dragged on forever but at long last its over – SPRING is here.
I heard and saw my first swallow this afternoon and it totally lifted my spirits. The first buds of blossom are erupting on the peach, apple and plum trees. Daffodils, tulips and crocuses are adding splashes of colour to a rather drab garden at the moment. There are plenty of weeds to keep me occupied for a week or so.
Winter seemed to be holding on in a cold vice like grip and wasn’t letting go. We have had rain, hail, winds and frosts over the last few months but now sunshine, blue skies and “sundowners” are all a step closer.
I have tiny tomato seedlings growing on the windowsill and my courgette seeds have just erupted with signs of green peeking through the soil. It won’t be long before we are enjoying a bumper harvest of fresh produce.
HURRAY
