Because of the harsh winter the daffodils are finding it a bit difficult to show much enthusiasm but the rest of Mother Natures bounty seems to be doing OK. I was kept awake on Friday night by a very musical blackbird. Bearing in mind this was gone eleven at night, had it been anything else keeping me from my sleep I would have been rather annoyed but I found myself listening carefully and waiting…
