Anemones

Spring is here. We've had some very warm days - so the locals assure us. Mind you they also maintain that the cold days we had at the end of January were also colder than they're used to! It was very cold - sleet and even damp snow showers. But with the warm weather, the spring flowers are, well, springing up.
