Earlier....

Spring is definately at least 3 weeks earlier than it was last year, which is wonderful!!
When I came home from work today, it was chilly in the wind, but the sun was shining, and while I was sitting in the car trying to decide whether to go out and look for a blip or not I noticed the Magnolia stellata bush in the corner of our front garden was flowering.
So today I bring you the unravalling flower of Magnolia stellata. Last year I blipped it twice. On the 5th 0f April when It was still really tightly closed and again on 22 April when it was finally fully open a good 5 weeks later than this year!!!
I am soooooo happy!
