Sunny daffodils

There's nothing quite like a host of golden daffodils to brighten your mood. No matter where you spot them, this spring flower is sure to put a smile on your face.

Magnificent magnolia

You can't have failed to notice that magnolia trees are in full bloom at the moment. This stunning sight is made all the more beautiful when paired with a perfectly blue sky.

Birds of a feather

Imagine listening to the soundtrack of spring as blue tits, goldfinches and chiffchaffs chirp away. Why not build a bird feeder and encourage even more feathered friends to pay you a visit?
