Could it be true?

Is this the beginning of 'real' Spring?  Not the 'false' we've had since December and daffodils blooming - although they were out end of October! :-/  The snowdrops, celandine and primroses are already flowering in high numbers, but this is the first time I've noticed the blackthorn ... Let's hope this is real and not just a dream! :) xx

P.s Louie is fine... :)
