Those unexpected things

Sunshine and the first signs of spring.

Daffodils pushing up in the garden this morning on a day when I was meant to be off (my only one in this recess) but the phone kept ringing ; none the less both Cathleen and I (she is on a long weekend) managed to spend a good period of time outside tidying up and pottering.

It is so long since we did so and it was invigorating.
