WARM & WORN OUT

  Well, this milder weather these last few days has seen some amazing changes in the garden, the masses of snow drops here are just a wonderful sight and ... the many daffodil varieties are really coming into flower and I will be able to have a few indoors for the RBS match tomorrow. They should also make a grand display for St Davids Day. Yesterday, I also saw a peacock butterfly & a yellow brimstone which really surprised me. 
 It has been so warm that I've been poddling about in the garden, tiding up some of winters debris and burning the old dried stalks and twigs, acorns etc having a good old wood smokey burn and the mad mutt just loving the chance These last few days there have been hundreds of ladybirds coming out to sunbathe <<<
like this trio warming their backs on a winter dried lavender head, all the bushes were covered with them and they also seemed to love warming their undersides on sun warmed wood and iron objects.
The dogs also enjoyed being out in the garden sniffing all the warm grass smells and racing round like spring is sprung loonies!

Ffin has a small golden, flirty admirer and by evening they were both tired out ...
