Snowdrops and Lenten roses

Snowdrops have around in the Grange for several weeks but mine too are now in sight, amongst the fallen leaves that I never got to clear away. I almost missed the creamy white flowers of the Lenten rose. Today I actually went to the Garden Centre and came back with lots of little plantlets (plugs?) for summer flowers. I just hope the weather is warm enough to encourage me out to find sheltered homes for them. First time for months I've felt I might get gardening again!
A bright red begonia is still flowering and providing a bright spot on my window sill. It was given me at the beginning of last June with masses of flowers and now, 8 months later, it hasn't given up-it really is a marvel.
I've been asked to edit a church magazine and am really rather enjoying the challenge. I'm also venturing to start a website and have a Course Assignment half written, and curtains to make up for the guest room-I've had the material for about five years! I think I must be waking up !
I'd better get busy!
