Spring bulbs on a rainy day


Now that the winter solstice has passed us by and the days are ever so slowly getting longer.
Today is one of those rainy days but the sight of a few bright daffodils in the carpark and snow drops growing in a pot at home, makes you feel that Spring will be on its way.



Thank you for stopping by my blog and lately I haven't found much time to spend at the computer.
Our bags are packed and tomorrow we are off on holiday to escape the winter and hopefully see some sunshine.
We are staying two nights in HongKong and then flying to London and then on to France. There is always so much to do with preparing for a getaway, so had better get back to it.
Hopefully will have some time sitting at the airport lounge to get the chance to come and say hello.
 
Have a lovely week and hope all is well with you
hugs
Carolyn

  4. Hello Carolyn
    It's all looking very Springy in your garden - snowdrops are my faves!

    I've only been back a few weeks and I wish I could escape this brutal winter.
    The weather was extremely hot when we were in France but my daughter says it is much more comfortable now!

    Have a wonderful trip - looking forward to your posts from afar.
    Hugs

  12. Carolyn, have a fun time on your trip. Wow, three wonderful places! The girls just got back from France, and had the best time. Your daffodils are so cheerful and pretty. I've always loved that flower. It's raining there, and so very hot here. We are right in the middle of summer.

    Wishing you happy days to come,
    love, ~Sheri
