Many years ago,I watched a programme where some cattle that had been kept inside all their lives and intensively reared were released into a field. The expert said they would be stressed and wouldn't know how to deal with the outside world. They ran and jumped about like cattle that had been released from captivity for the first time. I'm no expert,but looked like joy rather than stress to me.
My Clematis Montana Grandiflora has flower buds and they’re all facing this way ... it seems that the neighbours’ new shed to the east of them has changed their mind about where the light is coming from. 😀

At least, for once, someone not complaining about their neighbour's new construction obstructing their sunlight!
I think the placing was strategic ... they have two lads of football kicking age ... lovely lads but a couple of times last year I had to yell ‘hey boys! Don’t wreck my fence!’ 😆. The placing of the new shed has ‘moved the goalposts’ 😉

Lots of proper bluebells in flower along the banks of our road as I headed off to the SM yesterday, fields of blue phacelia in flower near Luçon and a friend form our old home has posted this pic of the local beech wood which is managed so there's always a clearing of mini wild daffs to announce spring and then the bluebells before the bracken takes over. Fabulous. They are not just English bluebells!
