Splashes of colour...

In one of my very first blog posts, I posted a photograph of Mr F planting up the winter hanging baskets - these have been spectacular all through those very cold, snowy months - and now these miniature daffs are in bloom and at last we've had some sunny days, they really do shout out "spring is well and truely here".....

.....and the rest of the garden is blooming too.....

---

.....my favourites are these irises - these are out particularly early this year.....

---

.....masses of catkins dancing in the breeze.....

---

.....and the pond is coming to life again, with clumps of frogspawn and croaking frogs, and I counted 7 newts just while I was peering at this little patch of water!!
