    Hi all.

    Everything is looking really green now, some of the Beech trees are fully leaved, all in all beautiful.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Morning all. Cold breeze this morning.

    Love the fresh green of new leaves on beech trees.

    There's a stretch of road nearby lined on both sides with beech trees. One of the great joys of the year is to drive along it within a few days of the leaves opening.

    Leaf cases from beech trees falling like brown snow at the moment. Last few days it has been white snow from the wild cherry tree blossom which will be followed by apple blossom this coming week. 

    Spotted a very pregnant roedeer in the garden yesterday. Looked a bit ragged as she is shedding her winter coat but otherwise healthy. Comparing back with photos from previous years we should have the patter of tiny hooves any day now.  Lovely to see the new life but not good for garden plants.

    Hosta, did you drive down to Plymouth through Chillaton? ,  (probably not ) but that road is beautiful now, the beech trees form an arch and meet in the middle, when my cousins came over from Australia they’d never seen anything like that in Perth, so dry and dusty, that she would ask me to just drive them through it. She took videos.

    Right, that's the grass cut before next week's VIP visitors arrive. 
    Raining heavily now so polytunnel duties now.
