    Oh guys, I am in a sad state here. The day with the longest period of darkness has passed...but I am suffering from a lack of colour. It is this reason that I am posting some flower fotos from my garden. I hope that the colour will be welcome to you too.

    Ahhhhh just what I needed - some colour!! I soooo miss the bees and flowers in the garden. :( Fingers crossed it won't be too long until the snowdrops appear to herald spring. :stew1:

    Another three months, and we'll have snow drops and crocus too, if we're lucky.

    Thanks for the colour, Sjoerd.

    I'm pretty thrilled that you liked the fotos. It's amazing how much I miss colour in the winter.
    Anyway...I see that others do too, so I don't feel so bad.
    We will be placing some orders soon for some veg and flowers. I can hardly wait.
    Merry Christmas everyone.
