Flowers for Easter

Spring flowers paint a pretty picture for the Easter weekend.

Along the alley, we have a show of Anemone Blandas; after a disappointing start we have about a quarter of the 1000 that we planted now flowering, so not a total disaster!

 Yesterday I was ferrying rubbish to the tip to clear the area behind the ruin and, upon returning I discovered that we had 'viewers'.  A gentleman and his mother were in the process of walking in the garden. 

It wasn't because they had heard that we are opening the garden this year, they saw us and decided to have a walk.  They actually only stayed for about 15 minutes so we hope that this won't be the reaction of summer 'viewers'!!  At least then there will be more things to see.

This morning, typical Good Friday weather, dull and damp!

But I was able to finish clearing behind the ruin so that Sue can use the area for hardening off plants ... or whatever!

Anyone got any chestnuts?
