Spring has Sprung

  All of a sudden, the sun is shining and we are overpowered with the delights of Spring.

 The plum tree in the front garden has a lot of blossom this year although we are forecast to have very high winds tomorrow so we hope it doesn't blow it all off before the bees find it.

 The tulips are providing a lovely contrast to the pansies and the 'white' tulips which we've had for about 5 years now are still brightening up the beds.

 

We've seen the Black Redstarts for the past couple of weeks and then last evening we heard our first Cuckoo.  We've also seen a pair of Hoopoes looking for a nest site; they seem to return every year.

We are both busy in the garden (although I seem to be mowing all the time!) and the head gardener is very pleased (thank goodness)
