Spring  In England, After the Worst Winter Ever Recorded!

By NEILMUIR1
March 8, 2011

After untold snow and ice, winter finally left and we had nearly two weeks of mild weather. Then the cold winds started and rain with it for what seems an age now. Unable to go out and do anything. I vowed that the first dry day we have, I would go out and get some pictures. That day was today and it was surprising to say the least. Snowdrops, still out with Magnolia, are just about to go into full flower. What a strange spring!

Neil, I am so happy you have finally gotten a touch of Spring in the air. I was so worried with your terrible winter you seemed (to me) to have had. Loved them all, they are very beautiful, all of them.

Dear Carleen, it seemed to cheer a lot of people up in the US to see the flowers! That is a nice thing!
You have lots of pictures to see and lots to send because we have missed both your goodself and Charley!
See you soon, as Muriel and everyone else will be delighted. Although there is a few sad bits as well!
Love.
Neil.
