Yesterday was a lovely day, a real touch of spring - the second this week (bracketed by torrential rain I might add!)
A wander round the garden provided delightful signs of re-growth:
A wander round the garden provided delightful signs of re-growth:
 |
| our first peacock butterfly of the year - on a daffodil - don't think I've ever seen that before! |
 |
| a trio of ladybirds, they are in abundance |
 |
| speedwell, an import from Carpathia so I understand! |
 |
| Charlie, daffodils, sunshine, perfect! |
 |
| our mountain ash trees are now old enough to flower - looking forward to this |
 |
| full budded Alder |
 |
| sun sparkles off the river |
 |
| the majestic willow, sadly lessened in the winter storms, we're hoping it will be OK |
 |
| bee on willow |
 |
| he systematically went round the whole flower |
 |
| Chickens. No not dying, enjoying the sunshine in a dust bath! |
 |
| tete a tete in the water tank, with mountains |
 |
| the flowering cherry making a brave appearance |
 |
| moody mountains |
 |
| less than a week ago, still a hint of snow on the tops |
