We will bloom again....

As type this the snow is falling and the UK is gripped by Storm Darcy.

Queen Michelle and I love the snow. In fact when I spoke to her first thing this moring she had already been out for a walk to enjoy the pristine whiteness.

Sometimes people fall into a depression in the darkness of winter and just see it as something to be endured. I love the cold weather. I love being wrapped up with the cold wind biting my face. Even now with the snow covering everything from my seat I can see tiny little green shoots as some of my bulbs try to peek through, reminding me that Spring and lighter brighter days are coming.

So it seemed the perfect day to share this glorious botanical animation "Story of Flowers"

The charming animation was developed for kids to show the life cycle of flowers.

Many different flowers are growing beautifully and strongly in this world. Taking their roots in the earth, sprouting, blooming, pollination by birds and insects, living on in spite of rain, wind and storms. They pass on the baton of life, rebirth and decay. Everything is so in a continuous, endless cycle.

Just like this shot of our Frances walking towards the light in her Little Red Riding Hood cape, we just need to keep our faces turned up to the sun.

Spring is coming…
