It was Summer - All Weekend

Well, after the "Two Year Winter" and the long, long, oh so long stretch of freezing, icy, chill weather... it's been so nice to have some sunshine!  Of course, what's happening just now, is that we get a day of sun, then several of rain and wind - so sunshine is seriously a bonus these days.

But yesterday and today it has been Summer. For certain.

Look:
There are flowers in the borders - even bluebells.
 
Aquilegias,
 
Clematis Montana climbing up the Willow tree,
 
Apple Blossoms!
 
The Willow tree is in leaf (at last!).
 
Mr. Blackbird is busy collecting food for ever-hungry chicks.
 
I even found an Orange Tip Butterfly on the flowers.
 
 
 
Miffy & Petra have been enjoying the fresh air.
 
 
 
However, the reason I know it is Really Summer, is this:
 
Dave & James have put the trampoline together!
 
Summer is here - at least, until tomorrow...

  5. It was the best weekend wasn't it! We brought a load of quilts outside and sat around drinking tea and reading in the sun! Today is sadly grey and windy again! Probably serves me right going to uni so far north! xxx

  11. WOW - what an interesting butterfly! Our apple blossom is long gone, but there are quite a few tiny fruits developing ... hoping that we get some apples this year as there were ZERO last year!
