Hurrah for Spring!

Today was the first proper day of sunshine we have had in a long time.  We awoke (admittedly rather late) to glorious dazzling beams and a clear blue sky, and undertones of real, actual Spring in the air.  I finally got the inspiration to do the work in the garden that has been on my list for far too long, and set to attacking the weeds, hacking and slashing with relish.  There is nothing quite as exciting as the tiny bright green tips of bulbs peeping through dark earth (or in our case, dead leaves and brambles) and the tightly wrapped buds of blossom, flashing specks of pink and white against the dark branches.  I can't wait for Spring to arrive in earnest!  For a start, rhubarb will soon feature heavily on our menu; yum.

There are now the beginnings of somewhat tidier garden potential emerging, however as I only started after lunch and then got rather distracted by tea, ginger biscuits and H. E. Bates at 4, there is still much to be done.  As ever, added to the list - "I'll start tomorrow!"
