@James34,
Thank you, l prefer to use a book its more entertaining for me, l love researching into things and looking up words is a sort of research. As far as Spring, we still have some leaves on trees that should have shed them months ago, my fushia needs cutting back but up until these past few weeks it has had flowers on. We do not have many spring flowers in our garden but l have noticed believe it or not that one or two of the rose trees have a few buds. You see we are nearly 1365 ft above sea level, so our seasons quite often differ from somewhere else, l have noticed lots of times when we have visited Bristol when some gardens are very flowery and ours are not out yet, especially the forsythia, which is going to be moved yet again to make way for our new shed. Keep safe and warm, keep on cross wording like me, got three on the go at present. ttfn x
