A hint of spring

Out walking today and almost all the snow has gone. With the earth unfrozen at last there was a delightful grassy fragrance, I heard a skylark and saw shafts of sunlight breaking through the clouds (you can just see a bit of sunshine on the more distant hillsides!) In the garden snowdrops are starting to push through. Very uplifting reminder that even in the depths of winter nothing can stop the Earth’s slow roll towards Spring.
