Daffodils - have I said that before?

The first border beside the terrace snakes away in
a ribbon of Daffodils

I've hear baby birds starting to cheep from their nests under our eaves as we enjoy what has been described as "exceptionally mild weather" which I must admit I prefer to "Exceptionally Cold" and the season is turning to Spring.

Spud has grown towards adulthood and abandoned the stuffed mice and catnip toys, leaving them rather sadly in little corners. He is now  waging a one cat war on the countryside. Our gardening neighbours are thrilledd with his  cat Armageddon conducted on the local rabbits but I must Charles and i have developed a pincer strategy to rescue the bunnies and return them to the field -  I distract or grab the cat and Charles seizes the bunny but don't tell anyone! All around us now the bird scarers boom as the farmers get ready to harvest the next crop of spring greens and cabbages and our garden is filling with Daffodils particularly the miniature ones that I have rather a fondness for. We have entered the season of Daffodils or have I said that before?!

Ollie Cat in the morning

Ollie Cat enjoys a short stroll before Breakfast and this morning i caught him waiting for the guests to arrive for Breakfast (because they were bound to open the front door weren't they?) from the kitchen window overlooking the Parterre. Of course artful puss soon spotted me and moved up to the door step ....who could resist his every demand!



Strangely looking out of the kitchen window this morning I spotted a whole field of daffodils just below St Micheal's Mount - I'm sure they weren't there yesterday!
