    Couldn't work out if Smilie was indoors or out because of the stripey wallpaper. Then the letters clicked into focus - maybe I should save for the new improved prescription glasses. or it might just be looking through the wrong bit of the vari-focals.

    At first I thought that tree was doing a sort of whoomping willow act, then I got my eyes focussed and saw the great big hug. LOL

    maddiemay - what version of IE are you on? I can't get emoticons when I was automatically *upgraded* to v.11 - so I dialled back to v.10 and studiously refuse all attempts at upgrade from my 'puter that clearly knows more about everything than I do :D

    Today I finally saw the leaves unfurling. I heard crickets chirping, saw a pond skater flitting around on a pond and watched the lady blackbird collecting twigs for her nest for the second day running. A fox has also been barking away tonight. Spring is here and everything is coming alive!

    I love it :D xx

    So even the Bear has awakened from hibernation and got out and about :D:D sounds lovely.

    My dad has an annual butterfly drive, to rescue all of the butterflies that have wintered over in the garage. His count was 51 in the garage this year, 3 in the glass house (rubbish conservatory not attached to house :rotfl:) and 5 in the shed! :T:T
