Signs of spring

 
The trees may not yet have their leaves, but it was hardly a wintry day today. For a couple of weeks, the primroses, snowdrops, and crocuses have been appearing, and the light lingers in the late afternoon. I have no idea whether the groundhog saw his shadow on the requisite day, and it doesn't matter: winter hasn't finished with us yet in Durham.
 
We took advantage of the spring-like weather, though. I had a lovely walk home with Lucy in the stroller and came home to find the house warm from the sunshine streaming in the windows all day. So we opened the doors and went outside, without coats!
 
Girls in the garden, waiting for the boys to come home with ice cream!
