This Thursday, on St Patrick's Day we're delighted to be hosting the Wedding Lunch for Lisa and David. We're really looking forward to it!
High pressure presides over our weather, and a wonderful calm sunny spell of weather is in progress.
We're enjoying the beginnings of new life that Spring heralds.
This was just the day for getting the garden looking good, mowing the lawn for the first time this year.
Here's some pictures of the garden, the views, and a close look at the budding new life
