Easter Holidays

I remember coming home from boarding school for Easter holidays. It always felt a much more optimistic time of year in many respects than Christmas, with the longer days and the flowers and leaves starting to come out. I particularly remember the late snowdrops that grew in my parent's garden and their elegant little shapes and colour. In Cornwall now, we have the gorse and daffodils out as well as some camelias. It really is beginning to look a little more spring-like despite the wind which is still quite cold. Unfortunately, I've been unable to grow any snowdrops . . .
