We're still in lockdown in England and in our situation unable to go out because of the snow and ice and it isn't much fun. I take photos on the zoom setting from the upstairs window to see what's going on across the valley and, of course, there's snow everywhere.
Today I looked out of the window at dawn and there was an amazing sky, but now the glimmer of weak sunshine has gone and the sky is full of grey clouds. There's a wind chill outside that's not very pleasant.
I took a tentative walk along the garden path and it was interesting to see a little colour from primulas and the evergreen skimmia japonica shrub. The Spring bulbs pushing through the earth look full of promise.

The garden gnome inherited from the previous owner of our house
is still digging away, but I think I'll be bringing it inside to give it a wash.
Looking down the lane I could see that one of the paths by the side of our wall was clear so I took a short walk to where the narrow road goes around the houses to create a crescent-shaped island area. Hopefully the snow will melt and we'll have more freedom to get out-and-about again locally. However, we never know what the weather conditions will be like so for now we have to be content with staying home.
Indoors we can enjoy the hyacinths and also the bunch of daffodils that our daughter brought us last week.
