First signs of next spring.

[betty swollocks]

I had a ride out this morning, specifically to visit two favoured spots, which in previous years have shown the very first stirrings of next spring and was rewarded at both. Bucklebury village for daffys and St Frideswide's churchyard for snowdrops. Here's the proof:-

They look like Daffodils to me.....

Global warming, innit.

Winter not even started yet but some plants are a bit confused with the new normal mild temperatures at this time of year.

I'll probably need to run the mower over the grass before I go on holiday in a couple of weeks.

Easter Eggs have gone on sale in Smith's.

1 degree average temperature on ride today in Peak District

I'm more likely to encounter a polar bear than a snowdrop

+1 Daffodils clearly not deep enough. If they show up round here any time soon they will freeze the little bulblet off.

The start of winter...

I left some potted plants/bulbs in my south facing bathroom. They'd dried out but started to pop up the other week, so i've put them in a dark cupboard to make them go back to sleep till next spring.

Nobody wants to get their little bulblets frozen, do they?

I planted a load of Daff bulbs in October and i have some to plant today.
None of the planted ones are visible.
But a Dove thinks its spring judging buy the way its behaving with the females.

Spotted my first Lamb of the year today. It only looked a couple of days old, was out in the field, had springs in it's legs and it made me smile as I cycled by.

None hear yet but lots of heavily pregnant ewes, so shouldn't be long. Seems to be getting earlier every year but maybe not so surprising when you consider the real cold weather sometimes comes a bit later every year.

Soon be lots of bunnies to shoot and eat. Bright eyes, burning li...PLINK!
