CLOCKS FORWARD SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Well its official,

its the first day of spring,

a beautiful sunny day,

clocks go forward so an extra hour in bed

what more could you ask for:

wild cowslips are out...

droopy in the sun but they are out,

took pic of these an hour ago.

I can't believe its tea time!!!
