This is the scene when I opened my front door this morning, all damp and dismal

certainly not the day to carry on pruning my Buddlea.

But although it's cold and wet and miserable, there are signs that spring is round the corner.

Or maybe these mousetails are just trying to escape the waterlogged ground.

Not sure if you can see it, but there is a waterfall from the Ivy on the Willow tree!

And I know I like my waterfeatures, but in front of the coal bunker?

Or the shed door?

Think I'll go back inside and start planning for the spring.
