It’s winter at the barn, the trees are bare, the ground is cold and wet. The rain was relentless through January.

But, at the start of February the days are noticeably lengthening, the weather has changed to cold and clear. Spring is on the way !

Frost – Winter 2015

The thing I like about this time of year is that the nice days feel special, a hint of things to come.

We’ve been busy planting the garden. Hundreds of daffodil bulbs went in during the Autumn, and now they’re all starting to come up.
