We could almost be lulled into a false sense that Spring is just around the corner, the Sun has been out and the temperature  is double to what it was this time last week, add to that the birds are singing louder and I heard the sound of a woodpecker drumming on a tree today all the signs seem to be there, in a secluded spot where I could see beehives the honey bees were swarming around the hives another sign surely?, snowdrops are in flower, aconite carpet the ground and there is even the odd daffodil in bloom all there for the bees to feed on, but we all know at this time of the year the weather can turn on its head in a moment, in shaded areas there are small patches of snow, and old saying “If the snow lays there it is waiting for more” could be true.

But when the sun shines and the skies are blue, the birds sing and the spring flowers appear, I will keep thinking Spring is just around the corner.
