The First Flowers of Spring

We may have had some of the coldest temperatures of the winter last week, and the rest of the UK is currently under a blanket of snow and ice, but not so here in West Wales. The temperature hasn’t got anywhere near freezing today, there hasn’t been any snow in sight and even that on the hills has gone, and its beginning to feel a little like Spring.

The first of the flowers are out in the garden. Snowdrops and some Crocuses are already in flower and there are plenty of daffodils and tulips on the way. Even the Bluebells are growing well and adding a nice flush of bright green to the shaded corners of the garden.

The temperature is currently 7°C out there and even the bees are flying today. I just hope the few Crocuses here and there are enough to make their journeys out of the hive worthwhile.
