Morning.

The sun is out.

Welcome to this week's edition of Crocus Watch. Look at these. I planted a

bazillion purple crocuses, if you remember, back in videos from autumn. And here they are.

Look at them. Beautiful little things. And then my hellebors.

They're called ice and roses for the fact fans among us.

Very resilient strand.

And I know I say this every week, everybody, but it is really feeling like spring.

There is a warmth in the air that was not there. And it lifts the spirits, doesn't it? And

I'm going to show you here as well. Got some dafts. Aren't they lovely? A little bowl of vase

of daff, daffodils transporting me to the warmth of spring. Which leads me to say, how are you all? How's things? What's new? I've had a load of friends here for the weekend for a friend's birthday, which I think you would define as very jolly. We had a really nice time. So I watched the BAFTAs. Did anyone else watch? I have not seen that film. I swear that won all the awards about someone with Tourette.

I saw the trailer.

I thought it was incredible.

Then obviously did nothing about it because I forgot.

But I'm so thrilled he won all those awards, the lead.

And he deserves it.

You know, he beat like Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothy Chamath,

Chalameh, all these people. He looked so shocked. It was kind of incredible to see. And Alan

coming, as you know, previous co-host of this series was just brilliant. I was very proud of him.

He just sort of was so good when he did this sort of

skit where he had to go into the audience and offer people like British snacks. So he offered

like Leonardo DiCaprio some hobnobbs or something. It was very funny. And he looked amazing.
