It was very cold out in the Magic Garden today but it was dry and there was only a moderate breeze. Ben decided to come outside and stay out which makes me feel that spring must be in the air. He positioned himself on top of the hedgehog house and watched as I did some repairs and sorted out new bird feeders.

Its lovely to see signs of life through the whole of the Magic Garden. The primroses look as if they will be out by the end of the month & the hazel arch has catkins and the suggestion of flowers. The hazel is of course part of the Magic, associated with wisdom & inspiration. The daffodils are gradually coming out with most still upright despite the winds. There is a continuing mass of irises and snowdrops coming up too & there will be tulips in time too.
