I love seeing the first Snowdrops as Winter moves towards Spring.
A friend sent a beautiful poem a little while ago. I was just waiting for our Snowdrops before I could post it. Thanks Kim.
One of our Crocuses has been attacked on the stem so I have brought it indoors and put it in the little pottery vase we were sent a couple of years ago. 
The ColourGirlz have finished our hall, stairs and landing and we are delighted! Thanks to Ronnie for the before and after photos as well as the lovely job done.
On our walk today we spotted a small sign but couldn’t see where the exhibition might be.
Down the lane were a few brave Celandines.
I baked this afternoon – Tamal Ray’s Date Traybake with Toffee. It’s delicious but the toffee hasn’t set well enough to spread over the top and set so we’ll just pop a bit on each slice.
Our town is being brightened up with murals, some in quite unexpected places. I still have to discover some of them. Here is the most obvious at the crossroads.
On the way up the hill there was tree that seemed to be wrapped in green velvet. It felt as soft as it looked.
I stepped into a neighbour’s garden to take this photo of a beautiful Hellebore flower.
Only one of my Hyacinths has flowered properly. The others have rotted in the middle of the flower.This has happened before but in the past generally, I have been very successful with the old glasses. This blue one smells divine.
One of my Sun-catchers went to a dear friend’s Mum for Christmas and this lovely photo of it against winter trees arrived yesterday.
A poem for you – Blue Winter by Robert Francis
We had coffee in Waterstones this morning and on leaving, the cover on a little book all about the Wren caught the eye of the Lovely Mr S. I couldn’t leave it in the store! I started reading it this afternoon and it is a delight.
Walking past The Mansion House in Truro we were both very taken with the Camellia in full bloom.
In the Pannier Market, hanging above our heads, was one of the lovely lanterns from the Truro City of Lights Parade 2019. They are always so beautifully crafted.
