winter enough



I fear you might never see a sunny picture on my blog again-

I'm all wintered out.....my boots are broken from all the stomping, my winter wardrobe I shall burn, even the evening fires have lost their allure.

We had a hint of spring a day or two ago, I sat with my face to the sun and refused to budge, the first fragrant jasmine blossoms revealed themselves, only to be blown away- hath winter no mercy?


The 'sunny' day after the storm - more like a small herd of elephants on the rampage.




Summer come back......was it something I said?

  1. I know! I thought we were going to lose our roof on Friday in the Great Storm. Some beautiful new bulb petals hail-bruised, but remarkably, no other losses.

    1. Rosie, I'm a summer person and now starting to fear for my sanity!

      I'm trying not to look out the window, the north winds strikes us quite hard- branches everywhere and all those eagerly awaited narcissus flowers look like I tossed them in the washing machine on spin cycle.

      I think I can take another week maximum and then I'll crack....;)
