The buds are bursting

I heard my first Chiffchaff of the year this afternoon.  If you don't know its song it's "Chiff chaff, chiff chaff, chiff chaff".  Let me know when you hear one near you.

A walk with some of the old girls this morning, probably about one mile every two hours, so not too strenuous, but it did stay dry.  Two of them have a slight limp (each) and are better kept apart as they clash with every step taken, perhaps one of them should change sides.  Just a thought.  Lunch at the "Swan with Two Nicks" and then home via the garden centre.  I say "the" garden centre, but it's not the same one as we called in at yesterday.

A little more pottering in my new greenhouse, which is now looking very untidy and has soil spilled everywhere.  I feel really at home.

This was a tree we passed (very slowly) this morning which is bursting into bud.  I thought it was more appealing than my pals.  You'll have to trust me on that one.
