First daffodil of the season..

Here is the first daffodil of the spring, although spring isn't here yet it's somewhere around the corner.

I was so lucky as this daffodil opened just in time on my birthday Sunday and it felt rather special knowing that Mum had daffodils in her room when I was born, and here was the first one from our garden flowering on my 39th. Made me feel all gooey inside..

First robin of the winter..

Have seen our resident robin, well at least I think it's our resident one they all look alike. Anyway he has shown himself for the first time this winter, and boy is his breast a bright red colour this year. Where do they go in the summer though that you don't see them..hmmm

It officially feels like winter is here now that the robin is in the garden..
