I ventured out into the garden yesterday, as I glimpsed some colour poking out of the drabness. So, here we are, the first spring colour in the garden. The plant is called a Bergenia. Apparently, they are sometimes known as Elephant's Ears, because of their large, leathery, oval leaves.
I am delighted to say that today, after three weeks, I am actually feeling just a little bit better, which is good news indeed. I'm still just sitting around and doing nothing, but my spirits certainly seem to have lifted in the past twenty four hours.
Would you believe that, yesterday, I didn't wake up until 1.45 p.m.!
Anyway, just now I put my wellies on and decided to venture much further down into the garden, and I was delighted to find many more signs of the garden gradually re-awakening after the Winter, so I thought I would share the photos with you.

I have to say that the hubby has been looking after me really well since I've been poorly. I usually cut the grass in the formal bit of the garden and I just happened to mention that it really did need cutting, when I looked out and there he was with the lawn mower out and giving the grass its first cut of the year. See! Now that's romantic to me!!
Oh! I must finish today by congratulating Colin Firth on winning the Oscar for The Best Actor, and I see that The King's Speech gained the Oscar for Best Film, as well as picking up two other Awards. (I think my Review of the film probably helped you along your way, Colin!!!!).
