After a long and silent winter slumber, our garden in Middleton definitely thinks spring is here. There are birds and flowers appearing in numbers and the days seem longer and brighter with a little warmth to the sun. The ground is littered with snowdrops and aconites, making a colourful carpet just a short stroll from the cottage doors. Watch robins, tits and goldfinches hopping from tree to tree looking for the emerging worms and grubs.
If you want to venture out to explore spring in the local area, the normally sleepy Farndale comes alive to welcome the wild daffodils in March/April. They are well worth a look and there is a short walk that runs alongside the River Dove to the 'Daffy Cafe'. If you prefer a cityscape, York also has a good display of daffodils along the banks below the city walls and around Cliffords Tower.
We still have plenty of firewood left over from the winter, so curl up in the evening in front of the fire to relax. So if you are looking for a peaceful break this spring, we still have some availability.
