Signs of Spring

Sunlight through the curtains and birdsong woke me at just after 07:00 today. In the garden, the snowdrops are fading after having gone strong all month, and the forsythia has been out for over a week. Purple crocuses are joining the yellow ones; and the primroses in shadier parts are flowering, following the ones in the sunny bed by the greenhouse wall, which have been out for weeks.

Monday, as most of the office were out karting, I took the chance to cycle to work, and bunk off ahead of dusk and rain; but it'll be a couple of weeks yet before starting to do it around the normal working day.
