I had about 20 honey bees gathering pollen (very full sacs!) off some sort of shrub in my garden (no idea what it is; didn't even know it had flowers until I heard all the buzzing!) |

the crocuses are in bloom and the daffodils are sprouting. Saw my first up dale lamb today. So I think the answer is yes!

In this past week the snowdrops are (suddenly I feel!) past their best (that didn't seem to take long?). Miniature daffs out (East Lancs and Southern Cumbria) and their bigger cousins are bent over and showing yellow. Honeybees are out in force and I've seen - or rather heard first then seen bumble bees in every month. A ladybird dropped in my lap in the garden, curlew and raptors have flown over the garden, male chaffinch are singing as are blackbird, thrush and robin. Adders have been basking since the middle of Feb in our area! And actually the season and the year is well turned now that we are a quarter of the way in ......

We have had two days of mild temperatures, sunhine and minimal breezes. Well I think that's summer over with. Roll on winter.
