After the snow

I spent a couple of hours in the garden this morning tidying up some of the debris from last year and generally trying to get it ready for Spring. I suspect I'll pay for it with a stiff back tomorrow!

The highlight was definitely finding that the little clump of snowdrops we'd seen from the window was actually a lot larger once I'd cleared back the invasive evergreen that was trying to cover all of the border. Beautiful little flowers and a good sign Spring is on its way! Now to see what other bulbs the previous owner has planted....

[About the photo: shot in the early evening as the strong light earlier would have made correctly exposing a white flower something of a challenge. Low light levels meant a tripod though and waiting for the wind to die down...]
