Spring has definitely arrived!

A few weeks ago the River Thames burst it's banks and the entire Thames Valley was flooded; we were lucky the water did not come into our house, but we were surrounded by flood water for a couple of weeks, it was a sorry sight...

I was not hopeful that any of my plants or bulbs would survive, but of course I was wrong, it never ceases to amaze me how Mother Nature can bounce back so quickly; if anything the garden looks better than last year.

 The Hellebores in particular are stunning...

We are off to Rome tomorrow, I can't wait to see what comes up while we are gone :)
