After being in England for 3 weeks we returned yesterday to find all well at the house, nice to see the tree at the end of the drive with blossom and many of the plants and shrubs starting to look more happy after the winter. Only real problem is the grass in the orchard and field has got a bit long...time to buy the sit-on mower i feel.
Also thought you'd like to see this, one of my first blog posts way back in November last year, showed geese heading south for a warmer climate, the picture left was taken just before we left for England, the geese are on their way back, a great and quite emotional sight, spring really must have sprung now....at last!!
these birds are cranes and a welcome sight they are as they seem to fortell that spring is very near, not so in the autumn when they fly back south a reminder of the cold dark days too come
