On the village green
Spring garlands ancient branches
A marriage of old and new

Isn’t this a wonderful time of year? When it isn’t raining, of course. Our flowers aren’t fully up yet except for the lilacs — which are hard to see because they are 12 feet up on top of what’s left of that tree. That poor tree has been hit by so many branches and other falling trees, it’s amazing that it’s still alive and making flowers! I’m going to take a chain saw to it and cut down the broken sections and hopefully, some new shoots will spring up. It’s such a huge tree. I haven’t seen another one this big since I was a child … there was one like this along our street until someone finally cut it down.
We are going to have brilliant lilies and roses in about two weeks. Spring is usually very brief in this area, but maybe we’ll get a REAL one this year! A reward for surviving March!

England is just dripping flowers at the moment…every bush, branch and grassy bank is covered with them now…perhaps the most glorious spring display I’ve ever seen.
The lilacs are in flower here too, Those and the laburnums just take me straight back to childhood and grandad’s garden.
