On cue!

March 21st - the official start of Spring - and the weather man appears to have consulted his diary!  Spring is definitely in the air today with the countryside looking green under sunshine from a blue sky;  birds are singing and although the wind is still around it is far less blustery and cold  There are just a few faint traces of snow left on the tops of shaded hills, it feels much warmer and there is hope of better times to come.

The welcome to Meuse sign on our way back from the Duchy of Luxembourg.


The "hills of home" beckon...

...and how green is my valley...

Wavrille - just 2kms from Damvillers - and the front line in World War One, when Damvillers was occupied.

"The green, green, grass" as Damvillers beckons.

In our "garden room" the first blossoms on our little apricot tree...

...which my husband grew from a fresh apricot stone, planted three years ago.

Definitely signs of an oh-so-welcome Spring!

    Lovely pictures - I hope you get fruits from the little apricot - grown in a pot?
    I'm going to try to grow a little more this year, outside but the garden is not big!

    Thanks, Alison. Lovely to see blue sky and sunshine again. Yes, the apricot tree is growing in a pot - good leaves the past 2-3 years and this is the first time it has blossomed so hoping for an apricot or two this year! It's indoors but under a glass roof.
