March: frozen canals to crocuses

Winter had not been particularly cold, until it suddenly showed its teeth in March, and the canals all froze over. Ed skated, and the boys improvised a kind of ice hockey.



A few days later, the ice was showing signs of melt, and it would not be safe to walk on for long...

Indoors at least, spring has sprung, with hyacinths, grape hyacinths, and lilies from the market. Meanwhile, Leila inspects her magnetic putty


Apparently, warm enough not to wear coats in the playground if you are small of body and in constant motion



CROCUSES! (Croci?)
