Here we are again racing into Spring and those inevitable April showers, I love this this month. I get enormous pleasure from seeing all the plants coming to life after their winter hibernation. Its good to be back out in the garden again, albeit in wellies and a thick coat!

For the benefit of anyone who is the slightest bit interested, we now have a nearly useable conservatory! The floor tiles are laid and grouted , and the ceiling light is up, and there is just a bit of "odd-jobbing" to do. Can't wait to move the furniture in - and of course the plants.

Right now, onto the important matter of this months new Beanies. Quite a few again.

• CLASS OF 2004 the Owl

• DEAR the bear (Hallmark Gold Crown Exclusive)

• EGGBEART the bear
