The snowdrops are here. They’re not fully out yet, but they’re beautiful and brave and full of the promise of spring. There seems to be a lot more of them in the garden this year. Little clumps all over the place.
Some of the snowdrops have been slightly nibbled by deer, but they’re still lovely.
There’s more of these sweet little flowers to be found in the Candlemas post here

Introducing Ariel

The Wee Writing Lassie is asking her questions again, this time about Ariel, the main character of my latest book. See the post about Ariel’s greatest fear here.
Ariel: Dancing on TV

The night before Ariel, a sixteen-year-old girl with a deformed hand, starts at the most prestigious dance school in Scotland, her mother tries to kill her.
Torn from a life where she never fitted in, Ariel quickly becomes the focus of a reality TV show. In the castle school, she forms deep friendships and meets Alexander, the best looking boy she’s ever seen. Together, they unravel the mysteries of the castle’s shadows and confront the demons of Ariel’s past.
Can she rise above a lifetime of pain and embrace the possibilities of fame and love that beckon to her?
‘Ariel: Dancing on TV’ is a mesmerising tale of resilience and the pursuit of a brighter future against all odds.
On Kindle Unlimited.

The Performance: sometimes going home for Christmas is just one huge performance…
When Ariel returns home from dance college, her mother expects her to perform the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy in a pink, sequined tutu in front of many, many party guests. Ariel adjusts the costume and choreography to expose dark truths about her life, but, as it turns out, this is not the biggest performance of the night…

The snowdrops are beautiful, Ailish. It’s wonderful that they’re showing that spring is coming.
I love that about them!
I’ve been waiting for you to post these. ❤️ Just in time for Imbolc!
I am a bit predictable with the snowdrops 😀
We have a few snowdrops poking through too! And I’m just about to acquaint myself with Ariel 🙂
Nice!
I’m so excited for you! Here in the wilds of New York State our thermometer has been hovering near 0 degrees F. No snowdrops of the flowery sort yet for us, but soon, I hope.
Oh, chilly! I hope you’re staying cosy.
Still waiting to see some signs of spring here but the trees are starting to look a little purple with the start of leaves.
That sounds pretty 🙂
I wish we had them here!
What is your first flower of the season or sign of spring?
Beautiful flowers!
Heart warming!
