First Signs of Spring

You'll be pleased to know that Spring is starting to stir here in the Quercy. Today I had the first sighting of the early spring visitor, the 'Duffeled Pruner', seen, as usual, on budding roses.

I mentioned to Sue that the roses were nearly bursting into leaf and the next thing, she was out there with the secateurs!

As you can see, the 3 climbling roses have had a very hard prune!

Meanwhile I'm pleased to report that all of the tiles are now laid in the kitchen, ( awaiting the grouter now) and I've got over half of the tiles down in the passage.
