A Lovely Bonus.........

.................when I went out very early to refill one of my bird feeders - I spotted a flash of white in amongst the Pink Cranesbill down the side of the bungalow. About three or four years ago, my then neighbour gave me a small bit of root of Lily of the Valley which, as it was raining at the time, I just pushed into the ground with every intention of planting it somewhere else eventually. Me being me, I promptly forgot about it, so it stayed where I put it and has sat there ever since and done nothing. This morning, there, where I had pushed it into the ground, were about a dozen or so spikes of these lovely, sweet scented flowers! How it has survived, I do not know - practically smothered by the cranesbill and tucked right under the old stone wall where the soil is very dry and gets only the very early morning sun - it is a small miracle!

The weather is brilliant at the moment - and at 8.45 a.m. is already 13 deg. C.! - forecast good for this part of the Country so here's hoping it stays fine for the rest of the day.
