I adore Hellebores but they are such shy flowers, hiding their beauty from all but the Bees. Floating their upturned blooms in a bowl of water is the best way i know of appreciating their diverse colouring.

Our first Daffodils have opened this week a variety called Little Witch, closely followed by Tete a Tete, whilst many others are teasing us with just a hint of colour showing. We caught a glimpse of Long Tailed Tits building a nest in the old native hedgerow and the Blue Tits have been inspecting last years nesting holes. Isnt Spring wonderful !
