No need to rub it in. Down here at the bottom of the world we’re still waiting for summer to happen – at least in the bit where I live. We haven’t had one day when I would’ve wanted to go for a swim! Autumn has one good thing down here: the leaves don’t fall – so very little raking! Nonetheless, I share you excitement, hope and joy at the beginnings of Spring!
The pink blossoms are my Christmas camellias, which were so frozen before Christmas, they never bloomed. Luckily, a few of them survived and are now gracing us with their delicate pink!
Early stirrings here in Gloucestershire: a few primulas, crocus, snowdrops and, this morning, three daffodils emerged. But we’re threatened with snow tonight/tomorrow! Still, it’ll soon be here in full. Thanks for the lovely pics, Noelle.
Your welcome, Stuart. I haven’t seen snowdrops since we lived in Chicago. Probably because we hardly ever have snow? The croci and the daffies are hardy little things. I love to see pictures of them pocking through the snow…
There is a park in Liverpool which has been planted with thousands of daffodil bulbs – to walk there in the spring is an amazing experience. Acres of yellow, bobbing in the wind. Hope you get a chance to see it sometime.
All the gorgeous flowers we connect with spring. I suppose we’ll have to wait a few more weeks in Norway to see this beauties… 🙂
They’ll be there! Spring is inevitable!

Just sharing…hope you enjoy the blossoms! No summer this year?
Gorgeous 🙂
Hopefully they bring some sunshine!
We had some…briefly…today. 🙂
Oh, that looks so wonderful, Noelle. Thanks for the peek at spring. 🙂

What is the second one. I want some for my yard.
Winter daphne, according to Gene!
Not in my neck of the woods yet, but I have hope!
This was designed to provide that – it’s coming!

we’ve had exactly the same flowers here for over 2 weeks… 🙂
Gorgeous – I’m hoping it stays cool so they will last!
Beautiful 💝
Yay I’ve just arranged to go for a walk in the local park 🌱⛅️
