Its official - coldest spring in more than 50 years

Nice today though!

And the bluebells are blossoming by the canal.

Damp & Swampy

Weather for ducks! Miserable and wet. All day.

Two days in a row - SUN - whatever next?

Big hot yellow blob in the sky this morning!

Still no sun and very cold

But the Gunnera is still putting on growth.

Onwards and upwards ...

... big changes in just ten days. Page down and compare today with 9th May.

 

Its turned cold again ...

... and growth has slowed up a tad. But only a tad!

Another day ... another inch or two or three!

Look at the change in just about a week!  Page down to 02 May and you'll see what I mean

The shoots are beginning to do their job ... shoot!

More sun and more growth

... but this time for our tiny Gunnera magellanica.

and the big one ...

and the Fritillaria meleagris meadow (actually, a patch) !
