We need light

I believe we had two days when we experienced some sunshine over the last week, otherwise it’s still grey and wet.  There are signs of spring, snowdrops, crocus and the first daffodils are flowering but in the gloom they are not so noticeable and hardly lift the spirts. 

Let me try to do that with a little colour. 

A couple of photos from MrFF’s walk in the Dales on an unusually good day and my lovely amaryllis which got quite leggy as they sought the light.  The red one sadly keeled over and snapped but it then brighten up our dining table as a cut flower.

  1. It feels tough when there are so many dark, rainy days. I bought a pot of hyacinths the other day, just to bring home a bit of colour and life.

  6. Thank you for visiting my blog. Your flowers look beautiful and I'm glad it was a nice sky for your husband's walk. The snowdrops are amazing. I love reading blogs about Yorkshire. I was born in Wakefield and my grandparents lived in Newmiller Dam.
