Bike ride and signs of Spring

When I got up it was bright with a little blue sky so I planned to go for a bike ride. By the time I had washed it had clouded over and looked like rain so I decided I wouldn't. By the time I had finished breakfast sunny again, so I went before the weather changed it's mind! Just in case it did rain, I went on one of my shorter routes - about 6 miles.  It had started to spit with rain just before I reached home, but that soon stopped, so sawed up most of the rest of the cherry branches.

Snowdrops and daffodils just showing through. Very pleased to see the clump of snowdrops I had tansferred last year "in the green" from the back garden to the front garden are is showing signs of life as the leaves had died immediately whereas the leaves of the untransplanted snowdrops hadn't.

Hellebores are also in bud. Hellebores are great, they flower for 2-3 months.

Snowdrops (single versions) are googd for pollinator insects, and hellebores are good for queen bumblebees.
