spring is coming, honest

it's hard to believe, especially when it does what it did today, but spring is on it's way.....

honest it is, I promise

No, seriously, it is

If you listen carefully and look beneath the piles of sodden leaves, mud, relentlessly grey and weeping skies there are springy things happening everywhere

a small peek under their winter covers reveals fruit on all the citrus trees, some are bearing fruit that have never borne fruit before

  

we've only had one landslide this year (so far!!) and luckily the local council are friends, so they happily removed this boulder which Woody tried to shove out of the way....bless

slowly, slowly everything will dry out and before you know it, it'll be scorchio again and the rivers will have run dry and we'll all be dreaming of rain and the winter will seem like an age ago

hard to imagine, but true
