I took this photo last Friday. The sun was shining, bees were humming among the blossoms, and it felt as though Spring was finally on her way.
What a difference a day makes.
This was Saturday morning. Overnight an arctic blast had come through, the temperature dropping to a face-freezing minus one, snow falling. It hadn’t quite begun to settle on the ground at this point, but it was resting on the tree branches where, less than twenty-four hours before, it had felt like Spring.
Nature has a way of doing the unexpected, doesn’t she?
A day later, this was the scene in my back garden. However, today temperatures are starting to rise, the MiniBeast withdrawing back to the frozen east where it belongs. The spring equinox is almost upon us, and there will be more blossom and bees soon…
…I hope.

Sunshine today in North Wales to celebrate the arrival of Spring. I think someone may have forgotten to turn the heating on though. Onward and Upward from now on?

I certainly hope so – I’m ready for some warmer temperatures 🙂 Hope you’re feeling well, hugs back to you xx
Spring, here today, gone this afternoon! 🙂
😀 Yes, that sounds about right!
Spring-like again, now, but I’m not holding my breath.
Me either – they’re saying snow for Easter weekend now…
Oh…good…
It been kind of like that over here too. People will complain about the heat in no time.
hell comes in many forms and an east wind in the neck is one such; personally I blame Putin…
Yes, me too 😀
Such beautiful blossoms. I hope you have seen the last of the bad weather now, Helen.
Thanks, Robbie – I have fingers crossed for sunshine and warmer days now…but you never know around here 🙂
