.... lilies
Something gorgeous about these lilies - so exotic and so hardy, they are popping up all over the place, entirely of their own accord. Known as Easter lilies here, not native but full of symbolism and meaning with their connection to the 1916 Easter Rising. It is also .symbolises the BVM whose month it is. Complicated. 
I haven't left the estate today - well work in the morning, just working out where I'm going and when and why in the next few months slightly terrifying, a quick hoover upstairs - the goat willow is shedding and we have a carpet of what looks like snow; and some path clearing. Heavy rain in the night has made everything grow instantly.
