Snowdrops
We have a huge number of Snowdrops around the garden and several different varieties. Unfortunately I don't know enough about them to be able to distinguish them apart, except for the differences in height. These are some of the taller ones, they appear after the others and last quite a lot longer. A quick check on Google tells me that there are about 20 Species of Galanthus together with several cultivars, all pretty and a pleasure to see!

Stanley
I have no idea why I am so fascinated by the stall which sells old tools, maybe because my father worked in Engineering and maintained and mended his own cars and bikes so I've always been used to tools around the place. They have a real beauty of their own, well made for a purpose and lovingly, sometimes elegantly made too. The stall holder is used to me taking photos and today as he had a prospective customer he left me to poke around among the shelves where I found Stanley.

One cat sofa
It's strange because when we bought this sofa it was described as a 3 seater sofa ie. room for 3 persons to sit, or in this case one long cat to lie. Spike certainly makes himself comfortable and isn't it a good job we have 2 sofas?!

Temporarily redundant.
I managed to cough my way up to the shed, take this shot with my phone and
cough my way back to the warmth of the sitting room. I'm not a lover of hot weather but...

I can't get this link to work to my web site so until I've worked out how to make it work
you can always copy & paste it. :)

Catkins
I found these whilst pottering round the garden doing bits of pruning. No pollen left but they're so delicate and pretty. About 10 minutes after I took the photo Spike decided that they might be edible... sigh!

Me & Hat
I'm never sure if this type of hat suits me but it's warm and that counts for a lot in
this chilly weather
