I noticed on my return from Seaford this morning that within the last couple of days the trees are showing signs of green. Such a welcome sight. In my conservatory the winter jasmine which is normally a fairly small shrub has exploded into a veritable sea of white sweet smelling blossom. I have never seen it like this before. It is like a great white fountain. I am told it is the result of the mild winter. We have not had any really cold weather this year. The daffodils in the big pot that was a birthday present from John and Ian have just finished blooming for the second year.
It is great to have the extra hours of daylight and not to have to draw the curtains so early I can remember protesting loudly when I was small that it couldn't possibly be bedtime because it wasn't dark. How do mothers get on in the northern lands where it hardly gets dark at all in summer?
