Just realised it's nearly 4.30pm and I can still see outside!
Days are lengthening

[Chestnut]

That I have finished work almost on time today, and still have 10days holiday to look forward to before the end of March.
As a special reward for being patient, I’ll have more daylight during holiday days too!

Watching a couple of bumblebees on my winter flowering honeysuckle despite the cold.

Hearing a big thud on the window and seeing a sparrowhawk hanging upside down by its feet in the shrub beneath.
Rushed out to see if it was still alive ( no movement at all) it suddenly flapped it's wings and flew off at the speed of sound...WOW!!!!
Never seen one so close..such a stunning bird and Sooooo pleased it was just concussed

This evening a glorious sunset that made the trees and hillsides glow and now, a new moon the size of a fingernail clipping, rising where the sun set earlier.

Ditto today for me

Early bumblebee I think, as it had a brownish bum but was quite small, and buff-tail queens are big ladies

The bumblebee was here again this morning.



Just look at all that pollen. She's been busy!

Catching up with the Vine after a week or so away, and realising spring is coming and it's time to get on with buying potatoes and nudging Chrysanthemum plants into starting to grow.

Compiling an email trying to make my chillies and veggie garden (but mostly chillies ) sound good and going through lots of photos to accompany said email.
