Is the coast clear?

It was a really cold, dreich day, where the cold soaked into you bones and everything was as damp as a damp thing on a damp day......
Only outing today was to the wonder of Asda where dinner was bought and a hasty retreat was made to the warmth of the car.
I found these fellows peeking out from under a bush in the garden as I dragged the shopping into the house. They may know something that we dont ....is spring really around the corner ?
