Saturday 18th January - Spring? Probably not quite yet

catkins

Hebe (I thought this flowered in Summer)

Bulbs - (not the pansies which have been in flower all Winter, because they are Winter-flowering pansies, obiously)

So - it's January, it's been raining ALL week apart from an hour here or there, the "trickling stream" at the bottom of the garden has been a raging flood again, but there ARE signs of Spring all around.

Let's stay hopeful then.....
