Winter passed me by, probably because I am actually a lizard and hibernate with my books, computer and tapestry. Why subject yourself to cold icey winds when you could be inside enjoying "warm" jobs!
So lovely to see the manchurian pears covered in white blossom because it is now September, and the bulbs are appearing throught the box hedges and under the silver birch trees. Yesterday I picked a bunch of forget-me-nots, hyacinths and daffodils from my garden for my mother's 87th birthday and it was a joy to do so. The ducks are sitting on dozens of eggs and the chickens are laying well after a very sluggish winter in the egg department. No goose eggs, just learnt that I have four boys! (That answers that question.) My friend has geese sitting on twenty four eggs so I will gain a girl from that little lot. It is always so sad, however, to lose some to the dreaded crows. Guess this is life.
