It's so very nearly spring. The weather today has been fairly warm (10 - 12 degrees) with just a bit of breeze and a lot of sunshine. The daffs are very nearly out in flower. (I just wish that pesky ivy that gets EVERYWHERE in the garden would have a period of hibernation.)
As is the forsythia. Everything seems to be a few weeks behind this year, due to the very cold weather we had in February I expect. And, indeed, there was quite a sharp frost again last night.
Luckily the weather seems to be set reasonably fair for the next few days and the next-door neighbours and I have been talking about going to the car boot sale on Sunday if it's a nice day. In fact, the BBC weather website gives the forecast for Sunday as unbroken sunshine. I do hope so as it would be wonderful to have a schlep around the car boot again. The car boot season started officially around here last Sunday but although it was dry and sunny in the morning the wind was near gale-force so I can't imagine there were many sellers (or even buyers) on the very exposed field where the nearest boot sale is held I'm keeping all paws crossed that this Sunday's excellent weather forecast is indeed correct!!
Youe garden looks like mine, just the odd bit off spring here & there.
