| | | Spring's coming!!
Today I saw the green shoots of daffodils pushing up through the soil in someone's garden. It is the first time I have seen them this winter (apart from the ones I am forcing in a pot).
It's great to know that even while the nights are getting longer old Mrs Nature is busy working away in the soil making sure we get a good show next year!! Hurrah!
Please post your signs of spring here.  |

My daffs are up about 4 or 5 inches high and one of the plants in my garden has decided to flower. Trouble is spring seems to go by so fast and next thing you know its Christmas

I did notice my hazel had started to bud. And it's only just lost its leaves too. I'll keep my eyes open and try and find other signs.

It's like shops selling Christmas stuff in August! Why don't you enjoy Winter and cherish each season as it comes rather than wish it away!?!?!
I've seen no signs of Spring, and too right, it's not even December! |

What, you've seen no signs of Spring? Are you coming down with something Nick? You sound a bit bah-humbug to me.

| OK, I'll try to imagine we had a great summer and this cold, wet, miserable (oops, did I say miserable, meant to say refreshing) weather is a welcome change from all those glorious dry, warm, sunny days we had just a few short months ago.

The shortest day is at the Winter Solstice, but the sunrise after that date continues to get later and later for many days. I wonder if this date is something to do with that? The day that sunset is the earliest might be the 15 th
