tales from the frog pond - or thereabouts.

the snowdrops are starting to wilt just a little. As well as a smattering of crocus, there are some other bulbs starting to emerge.

seen 2 frogs behind one of the flaps in the rubber pond-liner this time - but a different location from last time (there wasn't one visible on that side today).

Mrs Slocombe continues to open green leaf buds. I might need to remove her remaining dead heads soon - perhaps after the next cold spell comes through.

to finish pruning the roses.

if there are some "roses of success" in there.

what a rose of success might be?

from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

not seen the film since childhood, nor read the book at all, so the reference passed over at stratospheric altitude.
