What a lovely day we are having in the garden today. This is such a good time to get the garden straight, especially for us as we are open to the public in 2 months time - check out 'Charnwood' in Nottinghamshire in the yellow book.

Peter donned waders and did a pond tidy. We got covered in bullrush seeds. Making a note to cut them down earlier next year!

Snakeshead fritillaries are coming through by the dozen, we are having to be careful where we tread. All kinds of daffodils now out or in bud, bees buzzing round the rosemary, birds nesting. Feels like spring is here.
