Spring is on its way!

The snowdrops are now in flower on my journey to work! They really seem to have bloomed in the last few days, providing a cheerful sight as I cycle past along the woodland path above the river.  There is also a wonderful clump of bright yellow winter aconites peeping out above the leaf litter adding to the overall feeling that despite the recent snow flurries and gale force winds, spring is only just round the corner. I haven’t smelt spring on the air but that is just a matter of time once the catkins appear and leaves begin to unfurl!
