Magnolia stellata

The Stellata is in bud and soon it will be full of flowers . Must be at least 20 years old now and still fairly small
Gym this morning followed by the optician and then bookers. Cleared the few carrots and potatoes that were left from Saturdays pick up. Made carrot and coriander soup for lunch.
Fowl day with winds and periods of heavy rain. The dreaded church meeting tonight
