After a misty and frosty start.....

                   ....we were gifted with the most beautiful of mornings.....the heaviest dew.....bright, bright sunshine and the best place in the world to enjoy my breakfast.....

        .....pretty little crocus opening their petals to the sun, in their pots, tall ones, that that darned dog can't manage to wee into!

                    .....tiny dwarf daffodils pushing their little heads up through the shadows, I love shadows, and tiny daffys, a definate sign of the season moving on....

            ....I wasn't the only one sunbathing, this tiny ladybird crawled onto my chair to join me, his dull colours and sluggish movements made me think he had only just woken up....

          Not everyone was as pleased to see the sun or risk coming out in it.....

                 Fished a few of my garden bits and pieces out of my shed to decorate my little patio area, but every bit of decoration I put out, it has to be closely examined and sniffed over by the boss.....

      .......Darsh, however, is far happier in the conservatory, yelling down the phone to tell everyone that he has, at last, managed to book our tickets to go to China to visit Charlotte next month.
