I took a quick half-hour break earlier today from the thesis to have a gentle stroll round the lower part of Queen's Park to get some fresh air. It looks like spring is definitely on the way - these are crocuses, and the daffs look like they'll be flowering in the next week or so. I'm sure this is earlier than last year, despite our very cold winter this year - I guess the bulbs must have been all snug and warm under their snowy duvet the other week and decided to tentatively poke their toes out of bed a bit earlier this year! Guaranteed to give me a lift, these are. And once we get the daffs as well, with that beautiful carpet of yellow ... just beautiful. I did see a clump of narcissi in a garden near uni this week, they were all out and flowering, so hopefully we'll get some more yellow to chase away the grey soon.
