Tuesday 5th April

It is supposedly mild today but its felt chilly to me all day with the wind coming off the sea. Ben wasn’t that keen on being outside either. I caught a glimpse of blue below the wee blackcurrant bush next to the arbour seat and hiding amongst yet more dusky cranesbill were little sweet violets (Viola odorata)

In the back corner there is already dusky cranesbill out & both the red & white valerian are showing signs of coming into flower too by the pond

Ben adding his editorial comments!

On the other side of the pond the spirea is beautiful & the broom is already yellow with potential.
