In the garden in the last week the crocus and snowdrops have suddenly started to pop up and say hello!
So as part of Making winter blog hop how about getting outside and looking for signs of spring? I was quite surprised what we managed to find! We took our daughter back to Uni on Sunday and managed to have a quick walk around Upton Country Park in Poole on the way back. Although the snowdrops were not yet in flower, we discovered other early signs of spring.

| One of my favourite winter shrubs daphne odora.The fragrance is wonderful. |

| Winter flowering cherry- this can flower on and off from November to March. |

| A beautiful pink azalea. |

| The spring snowflake. |
My posy from the garden this week is Bergenia - something that grows well as snails shelter in it and don't eat it! It's other name is 'Pigs Squeak', which is meant to be the noise you get by rubbing your thumb across the shiny leaf!
