In previous years, I've been out and about to the places that wild snowdrops grow, but now that Islay can't get about as far, the first snowdrops that I've seen were in a garden in Carlsgate. Last year I saw my first snowdrops on 12th January, up on the Wyecliff - we haven't been that far on a walk for months.
Down by the river, near the bridge, I saw a bulfinch hopping around in the bushes, with his magnificent red breast.

I saw my first primroses last week, on the other side of the river! Another encouraging sign of spring, and ofcourse, some early lambs. These little indications of the next season are so uplifting!
Two snowdrops appeared in our front garden today. Hurrah!
