Magnolia 1

I'm always relieved that my magnolia has come through the winter unscathed. There are four or five buds that are showing the petals and ready to open fully if the sun and warmer weather continues for a few more days.

In a spirit of positivity, my football team (Nottingham Forest) won today. It was a harsh and not very skilful game, but at least it was three points - and it is never pretty against Millwall !
