And the fifth early spring flower, the one we have just planted in our window boxes – primula, in all their gloriousness. (This photograph shows the shop window before we opened up ie. drew the curtain: we made the decision not to have a conventional window display at night but to cover ourselves from view with mattress ticking, and it was, we think, the right decision. This is annoying for some people, who can't find out about the books in the evening by looking in the shop window, but safer, we hope.)
