It's been glorious here today - we have snowdrops. No daffs or rhodies yet though  :)

4-6 inches of snow here but 11 degrees is forecast so we may see bulbs pushing up at the weekend.

our bulbs are poking up on our Aberdeenshire hillside. Hares around, skylarks and the first oystercatcher arrived today from the coast. The geese are starting to nest too. But I dont trust the spring until April up here!

So spring is in evidence in the north and in the south.  Can we have some in the middle please?  Ok there are daffs pushing up but it's still bloomin' cold.

We have no daffs yet but crocus's and snowdrops are out. Can't wait for spring to arrive, this year is going to be a good one (finger's crossed!)

Snowdrops have been on show for 3 weeks now, Gabi saw our first crocus yesterday, and the geese have been laying for a week now, chickens have started laying well so there must be a bit more daylight for them.
