Runaway spring...?

(If you click on the images, they look much better against the black background.

Above is the gorgeous view that greets me when I come out of our little town and look across the valley towards Bath.)

For the past two weeks, I have woken up to the beautiful symphony of bird song from some feathery friends in our neighbour's cherry tree. They were clearly singing serenades of spring, and looking around, this has not been surprising...

Trees have been blossoming, rumours of daffodils in full bloom....

 But my spring delighted senses stumbled and tumbled on Friday... 

What was this strange white dust embracing the world outside...?

The most vain sheep I have ever met posed happily for me in her frosty wool coat (doesn't it look just like she has been sprinkled with icing sugar?!). She made poses any catwalk model would envy, and I snapped away...

Two weeks have passed since my New Year's blog post, and time has just flown by. No time for decorating, creating, crafting or blogging, but an increasing itch to do it all! Perhaps some of us simply need to hibernate a little in the winter!

A huge and humble THANK YOU to all of you who have sent me kind comments and emails in the past two weeks - I have read and appreciated every single word. And HELLO to my new followers, I see you and welcome you to my world.

With a big work trip on the horizon, I foresee some serious blog hibernation for a few weeks again, but I shall try to pop in at least once next week with some floral joy.

Until then, warm regards to you all, and stay warm!
