The first flower on our camellia has finally peaked out of its cocoon, a sign of good things to come I reckon.

We went for a little explore around the countryside yesterday. Ade wanted to go and find a cave entrance where he had dived many years ago (we both go potholing, have been for years, although I dive a little I haven't quite mixed the two up like he has).
The walk took us through a cosy valley and woodland with little armies of snowdrops. I love finding clearings carpeted in snowdrops or bluebells, it's like entering a secret world of pixies and fairies. Plus I was happy as Larry with my new messenger bag! That in itself was enough to send me hoping around like Alice in Wonderland. I don't go for walks with a bag normally but I had to show it off (Shevie, you know what I'm taking about, right? that bag is just gorgeous!)
Talking about Alice in Wonderland... I can't wait to see Tim Burton's adaptation. Anything with Johnny Depp is a must see as far as I'm concerned! With the added bonus of being filmed in Devon and Cornwall too.
