Another short break

Signs of spring: a near-neighbour's snowdrops have been in bloom for at least a couple of weeks. They are a particularly early-blooming variety and the buds on ours only started opening last week. Then this morning in the park I noticed that one tree is full of catkins and as I came past our front garden on the way back I spotted several crocuses where the buds are nearly ready to open. If the sun were to put in an appearance for a day or two, they would soon come out.
