Default It's getting lighter

Isn't it nice now the afternoons are getting lighter, although it's still Blumin cold, it does feel sort of like spring is just around the corner. Now I've said that, we will probably have a foot of snow, anyway just a few more weeks and I'll be getting the torts up.

It's brilliant and even better with a bit of sunshine as well. Role on March by which time hopefully everyone will be up and about.

Yes, -5 degrees forecast for here mid-week. But the forecast is often wrong.

Yes - cold spell starting tonight!

At least it has stopped raining.

I walked round the garden looking at the snowdrops and daffodils, buds on the trees. Spring is round the corner. Can't wait for the torts to wake up.
