February 21st and it feels like Spring. The forest is sunlit and the ground is carpeted with tiny white beauties: snowdrops, probably tens of thousands of them. They are the first flowers to bloom each year and they always bring a smile on my face. Like delicate white flags they are fluttering in the wind, for there is a strong wind blowing today. But what a gorgeous sight. My day cannot go wrong.
