Nancy had a little lamb.....

Living in England has it's "perks" believe it or not.... Where we currently live is in a small village called Summerbridge in the Nidderdale/North Yorkshire area. This is a farming community outside of Harrogate.
We have been waiting for the arrival of S P R I N G here on the island as the gloomy days are getting quite old! Well, I believe that although it hasn't SPRUNG it surley is on it's way! The sheep have arrived back in the fields.... We are seeing lots of baby lambs with their mums grazing in the pastures as we go to and from the base.
From our deck we have a great view of a farmers pasture below us and so I thought I would share this sign of spring with all of you....
We had a bit of "mist" (fog) this morning and hopefully it will burn off as the day progresses! Oh, how I miss the sunshine!!!


Soon these views will be gone as we are in the process of moving to another village a bit closer to Harrogate. We won't have these views but we WILL have a garage, back and front yard (garden), 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms (that's heaven in it's self! as currently we have only 1!) & our OWN driveway!
I am hoping to take some other photos this week of the daffodils and crocuses that are blooming in the area that are just gorgeous!!!
Has Spring sprung in your neck of the woods?

Sounds like you need to come for a visit down south (well in the midlands!)!! The weather has been really nice with lovely blue skies (have I sold you yet?) We should connect, it would be nice to be around a bit of "home". Hope spring comes soon for you (after the snow called for this weekend!) Are you ever in Chorley/Preston?
