Despite the awful weather I've decided spring is definitely on it's way - I saw my first lamb of the year on Saturday (05.01.08)! It was in a field beside the A55 near Holywell in North Wales with it's mum. I'm not sure if there was just the one as it's hard to tell when you're whizzing past in a car at 90.. I mean 70 miles an hour (O.H. driving!) It made my day!

No signs here! -2 until midday, in fact the frost never really left us all day and -2 again now. No signs of anything yet.
Lambs !!!! We don't get ours until Mid April - I never thought I'd say a sheep was sensible but perhaps ours are.~

Baby lambs already!
Not been to the lottie or in the garden yet this year....think it's time for a wander and a nosey at Nature at it's best.
I did see a tree with a bit of cherry blossom on it a couple of weeks ago here in Cheshire- but that must have been a freak tree??
The buds on one of my new plum trees have started fattening up though!"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Not necessarily a freak Nicos. We have a winter flowering cherry in the front garden. It flowers on bare branches then when the flowers are finished it gets its leaves. Looks like slightly pink snow on the branches as I look out at it now.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

I'm still waiting for winter. We never did get the minus seventeen that was promised last week. I'm off to lottie for first time this year, will let you know what's what.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

Small but definite buds on the lilac, the holly was covered in berries a couple of weeks ago, now most of them have gone."I prefer rogues to imbeciles as they sometimes take a rest" (Alexander Dumas)

I meant to empty the dalek at the weekend but as it's full of tiny mice, I didn't have the heart.I you'st to have a handle on the world .. but it BROKE!!
