Almost spring?

Are you feeling a bit bleuch in the middle of this wintry weather? I seem to be in some kind of elongated post-Christmas slump! So, for the benefit of everyone in a similar state: a cheery picture of the brave little shop daffs!

(Yeah, there's a little flash bounce-back - I'm no David Bailey...)

And one benefit of the current January gloom is the excuse (as if we needed one) to sit and knit for a very long time. It's an ill wind and all that.
