Hello Keith. I wondered whether some of you would still be in the "ice age". 
Hope your weather improves soon and you can begin gardening.

I'm pleased you enjoyed seeing the garden, Jinny. I don't know flaming willows and will look them up. I presume they have red-coloured stems, or is that the colour of their leaves in the autumn? What a pity yours died. The Kilmarnock willow in the photo is a hardy thing.
I walked the dogs by the river this morning in the rain. Wish I'd taken my camera as I passed a beautiful willow covered in catkins.

Thanks, Jinny. I found information about it as the flame willow, Salix "Flame". On this site, there's a photo - scroll down the page and you'll see it.

Hope you enjoyed your walk and your little girl was tired! I'm just off to walk the three dogs beside the river. Where I walk in a new wood, sometimes, there are rows of willow planted for basket-making, etc., and there are ones with red stems.
The day started sunny but it's overcast now at nearly 10 a.m. Looks like rain is coming in.

| You're garden is looking good Penny, a lot more advanced than mine. I've got primroses, periwinkle, spring snowflake and daffodils in flower plus my solitary pulmonaria, also blue. The fritillaries are in bud and should be out in a couple of weeks.
