Finally stuck gold!

Finally I managed to get a photo of our goldfinch couple!

I caught them unawares as they breakfasted on our brick wall, daintily picking away at the cement where the snow hadn’t settled.

And yes, it’s snowing again! What is amazing is that this time last year we were basking in 21 degrees centigrade (that’s 70 degrees farenheit) toasting our lily-white skin ready for the barbeque summer (which we didn’t have, of course).

And at the end of next week we go into British Summer Time (or Daylight Saving Time) when the evenings get lighter and we look forward to a bit of warmth – whatever that is.
