Far from boring!

As well as these hellebores, there are now snowdrops and crocuses and - withstanding snows and frosts - roses in bloom in our daughter's garden. Oh, and rhubarb is poking through the ground. All very encouraging!

Today is my great-niece's 11th birthday. It's well over a year since I saw her. Am hoping it won't be too much longer before we can visit the family again.
