It's seems to have been a very long time since the warmer day's of summer. When the allotment was bathed in the sunshine revealing all of its glory. The plants and vegetables growing rapidly taking in the sun's rays. Since then the soil has only been showing its weeds, the weeds just surviving through the damp soil battling against the cold and frosty nights of winter. However, although the allotment plant life has been still the ground from where those plants grow has continued to show its beauty. The crisp white frost that has covered the site has been picturesque when the sun has managed to penetrate the gray winter clouds that have hung over Tyneside during these winter months. Even though the day's remain cold the allotment still offers its beauty as the north east wind blows, the light snow flakes falling adding to the allotments offer of beauty.

Here at The Buddhist House the garden is also rather dormant, though we have one or two blossoms here and there. I wonder what Mum would think of it. Amra has done quite a bit of cleaning up making it neat and tidy ready for the spring developments to come. There is just a touch of spring in the air now. It has been quite sunny today.

It's been quite a contrast in the last few days: the snow and the icy north wind up here and yet all the buds are forming and bulbs growing. Life is returning as it does year after year - putting us in touch with both the timelessness and the evidence that even the cold and dead-seeming winter is impermanent
