Not much of a welcome

It has hailed on and off all day but in the brief bit of sunshine we had I popped out into the garden for a look at what was emerging. The Camellia have only just begun to open - not much of a welcome weather wise for them, but a very welcome sight to me. 
It was our first green bin collection today and I thought how lovely it will be to be back out gardening and seeing what visitor I have.
