They're coming

I'm chucking in this photo from the 1st because it's a precursor to the one I took today (6th), and also because on that day I went out in the hail and demonstrated the patience of a photographer (however amateur) quite spectacularly. Even collecting hailstones in my bra as I crouched in the cold grass waiting for the sun to come back out again. 

I've seen snowdrops in other places but ours have been a long time coming and seeing them ready to flower was exciting.

Nothing's in focus but I couldn't really see what I was doing.
