The blackthorn is in flower.
The ploughing and harrowing is done and now they are bed forming.
Some more expected.

He was pleased to stop in the sunshine for a cuppa.
Then Monty and I enjoyed the sunshine for a bit longer.
I love this! Great pics. Like the pet selfie :o)
ReplyDeleteVery pleased you identified that as blackthorn. I saw loads at the weekend (including some blossom with old sloes still attached) and next day (in another location) Dad questioned whether it was blackthorn, pointing out there were no thorns. Do some plants have thorns and others not? And - supplementary question! - do you know if my little icon is blackthorn or hawthorn? Have you ever made hawthorn jam?
I'm going now!

ReplyDeleteA lovely walk out & how rewarding to share a cup of tea in the sunshine. I agree with Lady Ella, excellent selfie.
ReplyDeletelooks a beautiful day and I love the two portraits with Monty
ReplyDeleteI can feel your sunshine coming off these photos. It hasn't been quite so nice here so these are a pleasure to look at.
