It's about a month until the official first day of Spring.
It's nice to see more colour starting to appear in the garden. The crocuses are just starting to show colour... I keep waiting for more to appear but they seem to be lazy. Whereas the Heather shrubs and snowdrops are full of flowers and showing off a bit.
We've more cold, frosty days forecast. And I'm secretly hoping for a little more snow before the end of February. We've really only had one decent snow in Northern Ireland this Winter (which caused a bit of havoc for a few days - but it looked lovely) and I'm ready for some more (snow, not havoc).
Here's what's in flower at the minute...

Snowdrop drifts and clumps... a great Spring bulb for the garden! |
