After the windy, dull weather of the last week,everyone seems to have a smile on thier face today . Following a hard overnight frost the sun came up and we have clear blue skies and it even feels warm! The birds are singing away, I can hear a robin, coal tit and great tit chattering away outside the Gatehouse as I write.To add to the flavour,the snowdrops are coming up and it's a day to be out enjoying this little taste of the spring ahead.
