How . . .

. . . did this happen? It only seems like days ago that there were no leaves and we saw buds beginning to open . . . now everywhere is so green and full of life.

We went to Colne to collect our coffee machine from the Jura Centre, where it has been serviced and had a new water tank fitted. I thought we could maybe find a geocache as there was one close by.

Sadly we could not find the cache (I don’t think we are very good at this!), but it did find us a lovely Nature Reserve to walk in. We would never have known otherwise that Greenfield Nature Reserve was there and we had a fine walk through the trees and beside Colne Water. So lush with new growth, lots of flowers, including beautiful spreads of forget-me-nots and many birds singing in the trees.

Back home it is a lovely sunny evening and I’m sitting here marvelling at how our trees are almost fully in leaf too. And I’ve been watching these - still they managed to do it without me noticing!
