Oh yes.. DEFINITELY. I see small birds flitting in and out of the hedges and real primroses and snowdrops under the trees. The washing is always hung out in this weather and one of my linen posts has keeled over with the strength of the wind in the double sheets billowing like crazy.
I am outside gardening (between posting on here) and I love the fact that robins and blackbirds jump around near where I am turning over the earth waiting for a worm. I alway toss worms over to them as I love to feed the birds.
the blue titts have started nesting in the garden boxes and the little wren is back checking out last years nest site. They built their nest (well he did) in the trellis behind the clematis. Saw 4 little wrens fledge last year. Warm the cockles doesn't it :o)
