Hello, it’s that time of the month again! Can you believe it is February already? We have had a very mild winter so far. The grass has never stopped growing and so is badly in need of a cut, but it needs to dry out somewhat first.

It is very cheering to see the first signs of spring, such as the bulbs all coming through. I have my first three dwarf irises in bloom up the garden, and I spotted my first crocus blooming today. The snowdrops are in full bloom, and it doesn't look as if the daffodils will be too far behind !

Here is a list of new Beanie Babies for February:-
ADORE I love you bear (Ty store exclusive)
BITS the bear
FIDDLER the cat (Jan 2005 Beanie of the Month)
