What wonderful weather we are having to welcome the first day of Spring. Nicholas got around 20 lambs yesterday and was kept very busy. The birds are singing early on a morning and towards night we see them have a cold water bath in the stream behind the house. Preening and sprucing themselves up. Spring is in the air. The daffodils are in bud-lets hope they hang on until Easter to give a good display for my visitors. The primroses are out in the hedgerows already and I went to see if there was any wild violets in a secret place as there isn't many to find now a days but they haven't come through yet.Jack was busy gardening last week and hopefully everything is starting to dry out a bit. I see a hyacinth has come through but the birds are taking delight in pulling it apart I blamed Jacks dogs for knocking it over but it is the little tits that are to blame . I wish I could get a photo -they are quiet destructive little birds. If they ever get into a bedroom they have a field day with the wallpaper.
