April Showers

Spring has definitely arrived since we had the warmer weather and April showers this week. The cherries are particularly pretty. I took my camera out into the garden and then had a walk down the lane.






Down the lane the hedges are beginning to come back to life and filling out the winter lines. 




Some of the trees are nearly in full leaf while others are a little slower to get going but I love their shapes against the sky.
 Nesting has begun in ernest and the sounds vary from melodic singing to the quarrelsome noises of the crows building their nests a pecking beak apart!
It was lovely to hear the unmistakable sound of the curlew but I have never found where they nest as they are so well camouflaged.
Back to my garden and I have bought my new tubs that will go in two groups of three at the front of the house. The annuals are already growing in my greenhouse waiting for the chance of frost to pass before they can be planted out.
