Well, it's not exactly 'a host of golden daffodils', but it is enough to make me smile. I have watched these daffodils growing for the past few weeks and now they are in full flower. There was even some sun shining on them too, albeit briefly.
I have enjoyed my first bit of proper gardening today and it was lovely! I pruned the clematis and roses, and filled my green bin with all the prunings. I noticed all the buds starting to grow and it gave me a very optimistic feeling, (even though the weather is supposed to be colder again). I also potted on some little plug plants (pinks) and planted some lily of the valley, which I haven't been very lucky with in the past, but these are 'giant' ones (it just means bigger flowers) and I'll keep my fingers crossed for success this time. Lily of the valley always reminds me of Mum, as when I was little and Mum was going out, she would come and say goodnight and I would be surrounded by a cloud of her lily of the valley scent. Perfume is incredibly evocative.
