The day had turned cold and grey by this time - but had to show you the confused crocus - and moi... there should have been some Canada geese in the background but it being school holidays, some small children chased them away before we could take the photo!

Crazy day - brilliant sun one minute (as in this photo) and grey skies and freezing cold 5 minutes later.

Ngaere and I visited Kew Gardens last week (half term) - there is an orchid 'exhibition' on - the green houses were really warm and full of orchids...
