A Minor Miracle…….…of the Winter!

 

Geranium--1

Very unusually for our part of the world, winter has been so mild.  No snow this year and only frost on a couple of days.  But we did make up for that little bit of good fortune with more than the usual amount of rain.  Despite that, hidden away in a corner of the garden, this Geranium has survived the winter and has burst into flower.  Normally we wouldn’t even be dreaming of planting out a new seasons crop….but right now we are enjoying one of natures little miracles.  We have a clock change tonight, we change to British Summer Time, so perhaps it is now safe to say “goodbye Winter …..hello Spring”
