On the 4th it had all the signs of an approaching spring, then yesterday it was back to winter……
Today it is different yet again. Despite a wind blowing cold straight from the Arctic the sun has yet again woken the spirit of spring. Ivy glistening and glowing having shrugged off yesterdays white blanket……
Snowdrops are starting to show, two more small clumps being the first to heralding in the carpet of a very different white that is to come……
Down by the Lake the Old Boat House with its covering of ivy casts a warming reflection across the black ice cold waters…….
Whilst the sun casts a long shadow through the garden fence, hard to believe that this is still February, harder still to think that it was a snow scene yesterday….
I just wonder what tomorrow has in store for us. Still they do say that “Variety is the Spice of Life”
6th February
