SOON THE SAFFRON SHOW

What joy to see the end of winter days as snowdrops rise with bells of ermine white, the signal that winter has reached its end. More hours of precious daylight now appear and no longer the shroud of gloomy grey. At last we wake up from that long cold night and look forward to seeing saffron show when from the black loam purple petals rise.

Your words are akin to seeds of hope and longing wrapped in warmth inside my head Tony. What a dark, grey, wet, cold winter we've had. The older I get, the greyer winters seem; balanced only by my thinking that perhaps the spring and summers seem warmer. Loved it. Cheers - Gary

Many thanks Gary. Yes, the seeds of hope are always there, ready to drive away despair. Methinks these mood swings affect all. I know the score and battle on. And aim to see black dog is gone. Best wishes. Stay warm and safe. Tony.
