I have never noticed before but someone has planted a rather fine selection of different varieties and colours of hellebore. I don’t know how I missed them previously.
My garden is starting to show signs of spring. The foxes are courting and making a lot of noise, the badgers are happily scratching the grass and digging moss out of the patio stones in search of bugs. Spring is on its way!

Walking and observing is such a tonic, even secondhand through your photos. Many thanks

It reminds me of Helen Keller , the blind American woman ,who said ,
“If we turn our head towards the sun we cannot see the shadows.”

Thank you Gentle Author for giving us hope today .

I think the cherry blossom you have spotted is actually vibernum – always lovely to see it’s flowers in the depth of winter.

I’m sure I won’t be the only one thinking, oooh, I really needed that.
