Spring has sprung

The meadow is looking lush and green. There is an awful lot of doc and the balsam has made a small appearance, but we will not dwell in that and take measures if and when it becomes necessary!

The soft fruit bushes, currants, gooseberries and blueberries are all bursting with the first signs of new green growth, as are the fruit trees we planted. There is even a tiny blossom flower on one-fingers crossed we may get a harvest this year?

I'm equally impressed with the daffodils and narcissus bulbs, despite being planted several weeks beyond what I thought to be the preferred planting time, they have flowered nicely.

All in all it's a lovely sight to behold and I can't help feeling like the luckiest lady to have such a beautiful place.
