Spring has sprung

I went to see the excellent mechanic, Jose, this morning to have the car checked over before its MOT.   I heard a bleating and discovered this little lamb in an enclosure in his front garden.   My Spanish was not good enough to ask him where its mother was.   

 I rather fear he is fattening it up for Easter.

I've tried many times to grow English Spring flowers but they always look droopy and ready to die the minute they bloom.    I guess because of the cold snap in February, they got off to a better start for they look wonderful at the moment, as do a load of different varieties I planted in a huge  pot on the front patio.
