On our walk today we have spotted the first signs of spring.
A number of snowdrops have started to appear standing proud above the muddy grass in our park.
These small flowers, in groups of 5 or 10 flowers stand only 15cm or so above the very dirty grass and are a sure sign spring is on its way.
We found the plants on the banking next to the tennis courts in Bitts Park.
The white tennis blister is still lying in the ground after it deflated following the recent windy weather.
The recent rain has made big puddles in the folds of the plastic which, if the weather forecast is to be believed, will possibly turn the tennis area into a new ice rink for the city tonight.
Dad has been playing again and has now organised a Twitter feed for us.
For those of you have not heard of this service it is called microblogging and dad says it is really cutting edge stuff.
The idea is that we can just let you know what we are doing or if we have updated the site very quickly without creating a big post. It is a sort of headlines service….
Our username is ablogfrommydog if you want to keep an eye on us.
Must go now as sausages need to be kept an eye on in the kitchen. Mum is cooking some for dinner and, well, need we say more.
Until next time
Charlie and Buster.
