Pansies

Almost all the snow has gone from the containers in the courtyard now, the pansies are still flowering and the miniature daffs beginning to appear.

It may have snowed further south overnight - Lucy texted some photos of snowy scenes around Leeds this morning - but there was no more in Northumberland! Some icy pavements first thing though!

A day of shredding - lots and lots of shredding! Not so bad when you can look out of the window at the sea and watch the boats go by...
