The small difference of 140.8 miles.....

I love a Hellebore...


I know so many people who call them "Christmas roses" but mine really come into their own in early spring and a few days of temperatures that begin to touch on double figures in direct sunshine...and spring really does begin to flush....

The Crocuses are nearly done peaking up at the edge of the path to the bee hives...


But the daffodils are beginning to wave "hello" from the other side so surely spring MUST be about to spring into action...

 

Its a different story further north...
The snow is lingering in all the nooks and crannies in Granny's garden where the sun just can't get at it to melt it away... it makes the light all strangely grey and reflective...
Granny's hellebores are struggling to stand...


The Anemone and Crocus are only just winning the battle to bloom...

 




Thank heavens for the Sunny patch under the apple tree there, at least, there are some early signs of spring...


 

In fact the harder you look, the more interesting the signs of spring become...

 

 

 

 

Not to mention tasty!


Mmmmm wonder how long Easter eggs take to thaw?.
