We seem to have been very busy for the last two weeks, but I did find time to put the plants I bought recently into the pots that sit at the studio door
It has been a horrible day today - grey, wet, miserable, foggy - but when we got home this afternoon, I did find some things in the garden to cheer me up
rather damp buds on the flowering currant
I'm looking forward to this lupin flowering in the summer
it won't be long until the air is full of the scent of honeysuckle
One of the reasons I have been so busy recently is that I am an executor of Malcolm's Dad's will. There has been lots of paperwork to deal with ..... and last week I had to attend the Probate Court to swear an oath to carry out the terms of the will. Yesterday and today has involved lots of visits to banks and building societies, but we did manage to go to a garden centre for lunch today. When we were looking round the plants, Malcolm spotted this bird - we could see that it was a bird of prey, but we didn't want to risk getting too close in case it flew off before I could take a photo. I only had my small camera, so having cropped the photo, it's a bit blurred, but you can see the talons and the beak
