Thanks Veronica, yes I looked up the blue flowers and you're right they are scilla. They seem to like growing in the leaf litter under the trees, I hope they spread. They flower a month ahead of the bluebells which are budding up in the garden now.
Keeping busy is essential for my sanity and I've got two lives to live - Jane's and mine, quite a responsibility. Maisie gets loads of hugs and cuddles but I will give her a special one from you. Love and hugs. Steve xx
