All through the winter my back garden sees no sunshine until mid afternoon. By which time it's starting to set....... BUT LOOK... There, on the top part of the new potting shed. The sun is dancing on the roof and part way down the wall. It's the first sign that the year has turned and the sun is starting to get a little bit higher in the sky. Gradually over the next six weeks or so that little patch of sunlight will get bigger and bigger until the whole garden is bathed in sunshine from first thing in the morning until late evening. It works its way up the garden and I can sit down there next to the potting shed in early March and enjoy the wonderful fragrance of the Daphne Mezereum and some gorgeous early spring flowers. It lifts my spirits when I see the sun starting to appear. It's a sign of renewal and good things to come.
SO lovely when that starts to happen, isn't it?

DeleteI was onlyvtalkingvofvtjis very thing this morning. I live in a bungalow so we get the sun even in part of it throughout the winter.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a teenie tiny bungalow with a massive garden and workshop. My idea of heaven.
DeleteIt should make life a little more bearable as Spring starts to arrive & I've a daphne outside our bedroom window & it smells delicious when in flower.
ReplyDeleteI took some cuttings last year and will be really pleased if they do take root.
DeleteI can't wait until Spring when the sun is shinning and less clouds.

I love to see blue sky and sunshine. It makes such a change from dreary grey and constant drizzle.
DeleteWow - that must be lovely to watch. I can't wait until we have a bit more sun. I can already tell that the nights are getting just a little longer (at least on the days when there is sunshine lol)
ReplyDeleteWe've noticed that the nights are starting to pull out too.
