Signs of Spring....

Our garden is waking up at last from the long, long Winter. Monday is March (already!) and I know for sure now that even if - or when - it gets cold, snowy & frosty....nothing will hold back the forces of Nature now showing everywhere...

little blue scilla flowers will soon be here...

my oregano is re-emerging.....

camellia buds ready to burst...

and the snowdrops are in their full majestic beauty in between the lavender twigs...

Also, we were given the most beautiful birdfeeder I've ever seen by Paul's daughter, Jess, and her husband. I put it up today...

Isn't it gorgeous? It's made by a Swedish company called Wildife Gardens and they make so many other wonderful bird & nature feeders and homes I can see myself having a spree! Our birds are still a little suspicious of it but will soon realise that house=tasty treats!

I hope you can just see Mr Greenfinch through the little heart hanging? He and his family are the most regular visitors to our feeders. Usually one eats while the others keep watch in the tree, then they all swap places!

I'll leave you with a last look at our new birdhouse, as seen from my kitchen window...

It'll soon be here! With my love and dreams of Spring xox
