Since the midwinter solstice on the 21st of December, the countryside has been climbing back out of the depths of winter as the days begin to draw out and the nights get shorter. At last our snowdrops have appeared in the copse and the early signs of daffodils are peeking out above the gentle frost. It finally feels as if spring might re-appear and usher in the start of another year.
