Shires Horses.

Sitting in the peace and quiet of the countryside while partner and son did some work. Saw my first white butterfly of the season.
Also saw three shire horses with their heads over the gate. Such beautiful horses, so graceful.

Spangling.

Birds nesting under the eaves. Cobwebs covered in dewdrops,Spangling like diamonds on a tiara.

Allotment.

Friends have done their allotment for this year, looking good.
 The huge birds nest in the tree seems to got bigger, it looks like a skyscraper.

Gardening In The Rain.

I have decided that I like being out in the rain while gardening not the downpour heavy rain, but what I call soft and gentle rain. The smell of damp earth Is lovely, also makes weeding a bit easier. That is what I did for a little while, and I noticed a snail.

Blue Tits.

An abundance of blue tits this year by the looks of things. And yes it's raining again! But not so cold.

The swans are back.

Rain and high winds again. This morning started of grey but by mid morning the sun popped out.
The swans are back in the local pond nice to see them back again.
I am sure the honeysuckle is going to be the best this year , that hard pruning did some good.

April is here.

A cold bright sunny windy start for April. Be interesting to see if we will have April showers. Blue tits carrying nesting materials, so they are very busy.
The resident Robin has been a bit quiet of late.
The daffodils are still bobbing along and the tulips are beginning to bud. Happy days.
