Spring is springing

The sun has come out and, after a dry week, the garden is beginning to look as though it is alive. Our pots of bulbs are all in flower and there are buds on some of the shrubs that have survived the winter. Despite the cold, the losses do not look as bad as last year although the wind has seared the extremeties of several shrubs.

The 'new project' for spring is a new bed under the shadow of the merry hedge: extending the Cornish bed to give the smaller griffin something to look at and guard from marauding children.
