Why can't we slow it down when we go somewhere special? Yes, it does feel as though spring is just around the corner, but I'm not relaxing quite yet, as winter has a bad habit of coming back when least expected. At the moment I'm planning what bulbs I want to plant next autumn, as I can't find any sign that the new garden has any.

Let's hope that if I work as hard as I have with the physio, I'll see the same progress.<br />I'm afraid there won't be any daffodils to be seen along the river this spring as the previous owners didn't plant any bulbs as far as I can discover. I'm planning a big bulb-planting session this autumn ready for next year. :) Happy birthday to your DD and I'll pass your greetings on to ours.
