Either winter is obstinately refusing to leave, or spring is dragging its heels, but we all despair at the inactivity of it all!
Nevertheless, the new growth is starting to get established, as you can see in the hydrangea and elderflower above.
But the pause button is firmly pressed down, as shown by our pear tree flower buds. They have been poised to unfurl for some days, but are decidedly and tantalisingly not complying.

I have a few buds but not a lot else. The primulas have appeared but are nothing to write home about and the tete-a-tetes are almost buried beneath the snow 😦 http://karenwaddy.wordpress.com/

This spring has been extremely disappointing for us Brits. We look at the leaden grey skies and suffer the freezing cold temperatures and wonder what summer is really like, since it has been such a long time since we experienced it!
