Winter solstice could not have come at a better time.
We’re on our way to spring
Whilst the date of winter solstice has been the same for aeons, synonymous with hope and renewal, this year it followed hot on the heels of a date that will hopefully be forgotten in the mists of time, for yesterday we went into Tier 4 lockdown in parts of the UK.
Spring always reminds me of the 1970s Eurovision song; ‘All kinds of everything’ – snowdrops and daffodils, butterflies and bees…all kinds of everything, reminds me of you…
The first to appear are the snowdrops, those pretty little fairy lanterns that lend a cheer to the hard grey ground, and bring a smile to our faces
And then the sun begins to shine again as the daffodils with their bright yellow faces sprout with wild abandon
from then on its one after the other as more and more spring flowers appear; bluebells
hyacinths, primroses and then one of my favourite flowers…tulips
But don’t be fooled….for March can bring on a bite of snow
But as we roll into April….perhaps a visit to Paris is on the cards 🙂
Bring it on….
Happy Winter Solstice

I love Spring (and its pretty flowers) 🌸
Yes, definitely. Especially in the UK. I never really noticed spring flowers in SA, but here they’re so in your face you can’t miss them. One of the things I appreciate most about living here…the seasons are real..
We live on the edge of a nature reserve and spring time is a wonderful time to pay a visit … the wild spring flowers are spread out like a carpet! We have made a post on our blog about our visit under “Postberg Nature Reserve” – go and have a look, you will be surprised 😉
Oh thank you I will 😃😃
