So, here are some nature shots (taken on a walk with a friend a couple of weeks ago) we've had nicer weather lately and leaves have finally started to emerge since these photos were taken, so a return trip is called for... plus lots of changes have taken place around our cottage: the landlord removed the small stand of lovely 60-foot-tall "singing" pines in the back - I was utterly devastated - and now many of my perennials are finally starting to show themselves (lemon balm, catnip, comfrey, yarrow, chives, ground ivy, mint and mugwort) At last it's spring, with summer on its way!
May is usually a busy month for me (I'll be turning 60!) so I'll try to write more and post more pix in the weeks ahead - I hope things are good where you are and life is treating you well - TJ
