    Yes a little sunshine in Bristol too now flumpy so I should get out for a little in the garden once the soakaway is clear.  No more baking or cooking needed till I make pancakes on Tuesday.  I wi start the spring cleaning gradually in intervals when the weather stops me gardening - a little at a time suits me now.  I like to get rid of the grub of winter especially on the insides of the windows.

    yey! image It's still dry so I've been able to get out in the garden and clear all my old dead twigs and get my propagater ready for my sweet pea seeds, my seeds are soaking right now so I'm just going to have a sandwich and cup of teaimage, ho and I've cleaned the windows and front door too, I think my arms will be aching later but I'm not bothered because I've got a week off work yippee! image

    Great for are able to catch up on jobs flumpy!  We are having sunshine and showers with the emphasise on showers but I managed to take some pictures.  The late flowering snowdrops have come into flower and the daffodils are opening everywhere.

    Hi Marion and GWRS image, well it stayed dry until 4pm so I'm glad I got my garden jobs done early, it was nice to be outside for a change.

    Marion I love your photos, what are the purple one called? image

    Those are crocuses, flumpy.  Here is a picture of my friend;s ones which are open.  Mine should be like this in a day or two.

    Bristol is taking a real battering flumpy.  We have gale force winds of over 60mph and heavy rain and even thunder and lightning.  The noise in the bungalow is dreadful even without my hearing aids in as the wind howls down the chimneys.  Quite big pots have been upturned in the garden but they will have to stay like that till tomorrow as we have an amber warning till this evening.  It looks black over Gloucestershire and South Wales which I can see on a clear day from my garden.  So we are not alone.

    Gusts of 75 mph reported in Avonmouth which is just 2 miles from me.
