Almost a heatwave and oh so pleasant - it's stopped raining and the sun is shining, the birds are warbling, the cats are sunbathing and the foxes are snuffling and muttering. I have worked hard in the garden and weeded the polytunnel until it got too hot. 

The willow is now out and has been used as an inspiration for a bit of impressionism for this week's Abstract Thursday . Thanks to Ingeborg  for keeping the challenge fresh.
