I have filled the mantlepiece with spring this week
Sweet little pots of tete a tete daffodils
The first of my hellebores opened!
and the snowdrops, cover the garden. The snowdrops remind me of my grandfather as they were his favourite flower and it is only recently that I discovered the possible reason why. He was born on Valentines day ( Louis Valentine Valdemar quite an amazing name don't you think?) and the snowdrop is the traditional Valentines flower rather than the rose! I picked a few in a vase and love the way they spread open their petals in the wamth of the house.
