It’s 4 Stars again as the daffodils start to bloom

March 27th, 2010

We have been visited by the Hotel Inspector this week and once again awarded a Four Star Quality grade with a Silver Award for Excellence.
And to brighten the week still further, the daffodils have started blooming in the gardens,  just in time for Easter.

Snowdrops in our garden

Our garden and many grass verges here in the North Lakes are studded with Snowdrops. These have been in bloom for about 4 weeks now, and show no sign of fading yet. Spring is rapidly approaching, so we have the daffodils and then the bluebells to look forward to.

The birds have been collecting nesting material for some time now, but we are still having frosty mornings.
