Spring has sprung!

I saw a bumblebee buzzing round the crocuses in the woods this morning and I hope that that means we've seen the last of the winter chill. I was even inspired to have a tidy up in the garden, so the grass has had its first taste of the lawn mower, weeds have been pulled, the bush pruned back a tad, the patio brushed and some stubborn autumn leaves hoovered up.

My hands are sore now though - I picked up one handful of garden debris, forgetting that there were some nettles in the pile. Ouch. Still, I think I earned my afternoon nap with dreams of living in a strangely carpeted villa.
