Winter Aconites

These are the first ones I have seen this spring….wonderful yellow colour, even if they do look a bit frostbitten - the frost had almost gone when I reached these, but the remains of the meltwater is still on the petals and leaves.

A ten shot focus stack :-)

Had to make a ‘Heath Robinson’ repair to our washing machine door today - after it refused to open. The safety lock is working (you can hear it clicking on and off) but the handle on the door is not operating the latch to open the door and the ‘emergency latch release’ cord is not working either….cue some garden ‘twist tie’ hooked around the latch with a big loop sticking out the side of the door to pull on to release the latch from the lock…washing sorted for now….

Looks like I need a new handle for the door….
