There is a cloud in the sky but all is well.
There have been blizzards and storms up country but in my seaside garden this past month, it has been very dry. The bright clear skies have resulted in intensely cold nights and, unusually for here, frost in the mornings. The winter clearing work has been done and it is now a time for planning, waiting and anticipating. The days are getting longer and the spring turn is about eight weeks away, but life is returning. The daffodils are already bursting out, about eight weeks early; the corner campanula and primula have started their growth spurt; and the heathers are full of foraging bees.
The RIBs and canoes are stowed and there is nothing to do except beach walking most afternoons.
It is the Chinese New year tonight and the start of the Spring Festival so Xin Nian Kuai Le and Welcome to the Year of the Tiger.

Hi Pat +Jon, The Garden looks great for this time of year particularly the banks of yellow daffodils turning up early.Everything looks really advanced and coming into bloom. Do you get chance to see stars during the cold nights.Did you see planet Uranus ?? I hope you are both keeping well? Thankyou for the seaside garden postcard with good wishes janet
