Top of the morning.

We're on our way to my office.

Another pod, another day, another pod.

It's going to show you, for those on video,

for those on audio, I will describe. What I wanted to show you is look. I planted these

hellebores. They're called winter roses and they're coming out. And crocuses are coming out.

No. What are they called? Snowdrops.

Look.

There, lovely pinky, hazy, pinky shade of flower.

And then I'm going to show you the snow drops because that means it's spring, people.

Look at these. They're like tiny little white flowers with like a white bell.

Look at that.

Isn't it magic?

The first flowers of spring are coming.

How bloomin' cool is that?

And I've got here bird boxes.

I'm going to show you these. So bird boxes, this, you put it, put it about six feet up a wall and a blue tit or sparrow or whatever will nest in it. How lovely is that? So they're all going to go up. I just need to get my drill. And I've been on the David Austin website, which for anyone who knows where you buy your roses, because I've bought

a couple of roses. It's all very exciting. But more to the point, listeners, how are you? Someone said to me

100 days of January. I was like, oh, that sums it up. Blimey O'Reilly is all I'll say. How are we all

coping with this? I mean, it's here in the Cotswolds where I am, it has not stopped raining. And there's floods everywhere

and all that stuff. It's very cold in this room because there's no heating in it. I've lit the fire.

But it's still chilly. All I can say is that's why it made me so happy seeing those things actually.
