Daffodils

There is always something about daffodils that brighten up springtime - especially Easter - and raise the spirit after a long winter. It has been a bit of a struggle for them to make their appearance this year, particularly in places like the Lake District, which is known for its carpets of daffodils especially around Ambleside... as well as the Wordsworth association.

In Grove, the lines of daffodils along the A338 always provide a welcome sight on entering and leaving the village. This photo from today (Easter Monday) shows that they are just starting to come into their own and we should have some colourful blooms for the next few weeks.
