We survived the winds of yesterday’s storm Doris without too much damage. A few fence posts have come loose which will have to be dealt with at a future date and the tarpaulin over the corner shaped part of the run was lifting so we weighted it down with a couple of slates. This too will need dealing with properly at a later date. It needs renewing as it is getting brittle but it is a really awkward job as it’s difficult to get to.
However today the signs of spring are once more showing in the garden.
Miniature cyclamen in a patch of sun
Crocus should be opening soon
Some giant snowdrops
Hellebores are all over the garden
It is good to see these signs of spring in the garden and in the chicken run, Freckles squatted today, when I went to pick her up. That is a sign that she is getting ready to lay at last. I tried it with Rusty but no reaction so she isn’t ready yet.
I am so excited to be collecting new girls tomorrow. Watch this space!

Can’t wait for the next post!!!! :-0 xx
I have been taking photos and will put it out at the end of the day. xx
Ooooo, so very pretty. I have a few daffodils blooming. But the chickens love to smash those. It’s still too cold to get out there and work but I’m ready for spring and warmer weather. I love your garden. So pretty.
We have daffodils up, but not opened yet. I don’t think they will be long though. It is lovely to see everything getting started as spring approaches.
Lovley spring flowers, make you feel good.Want it to be sunny tomorrow,
so all the crocus open, when we have all our visitors.
I have been waiting for some sun to open my crocus blooms so I could take another photo. Didn’t get any today though. Hope all goes well tomorrow with your visitors. Give them my love.
I am writing my new girls post as we speak. Check in when you get a chance.
