I don't really come alive until after they change the clocks. I'm not bothered about it being hot, but I do like bright sunny skies.

Re: Nearly over
 

I'm like you Margaret can't wait until they change the clocks. It's the dark mornings i find harder to cope with then the dark evenings. Roll on Spring.

Re: Nearly over
 

But my crocuses are already out with the snowdrops, a petunia is showing its flowers and the boids choip in my garden, if you can call that wilderness a garden. I think that they came out in sympathy with the BA cabin crew.

The robin, who seems to think that the garden is his, goes around bullying all the other birds whilst a bemused squirrel rushes along the fence heading for next door’s bird tray to nick all the nuts. I’ve seen a bumble bee today.

So it is spring in my wasteland.

Re: Nearly over
 

Sadly, overnight some yobbo broke through my fence and pulled up some of the crocuses, the petunia and some snowdrops and left them lying in a heap on the flags. It wasn’t an animal of some sort because the evidence was in a heap. An animal would have spread the uprooted plants all over. I’ve put them back in place but only the petunia has a chance of recovering to flower later on. The growth in the crocuses and snowdrops will die away and with a bit of luck the bulbs will survive to come up next year. Mindless vandalism!:mad:

I should add that although my garden is more like the grasslands of Africa it is edged with breeze blocks between it and the building and the holes in the breeze blocks are filled with soil into which I planted the various bulbs and plants last autumn.
