A veil of catkins

or a rain of catkins. One of my favourite early spring sights when you see a cloud of catkins in the middle of otherwise dark wood.  It would have been a better photo if the sun was out. 

V was in bed and coughing most of the day and just as.I started to get ready to do something in the garden it began to rain, first lightly enough to do something and then too heavy.  Everything is soggy but the forsythia a clippings I brought in are flowering and the tête à tête are coming out although I found one still in the pot I left it in,  rooted through and flowering

But I managed to walk the dog, do some reading and sell some things on Vinted.  Rory still waiting for confirmation of his new job…it’s a bit nerve wracking for him.
