Gnat Hole Trees in early Spring

A quick stop to look for birds after a dash to M&S to look at all the varieties  of Hot Cross buns !

I still haven't seen a Swallow though other people have seen them locally.
There are none sitting on the wires or flying around the 6 regular places(some several days now) I checked - too cold or too wet or they are hiding in barns or other buildings.

The trees look great even under grey skies - so many shades of green and some in leaf and some still bare. 

Good Friday is the bad day the gas boiler chose to blow a gasket - well no, a control circuit board. By a stroke of good luck our local Gas engineers had one in stock after first saying this was unlikely. This saved us from  the prospect of a bank holiday weekend explaining to Dad  again and again why there was no hot water or why the radiators are cold - we got away with just 4 times :-)
