Peter spent the weekend up in our wood, clearing up some dead branches and cutting the paths we made last year for the kitties and me to walk in.  Plus, he made some new “short cuts” to add variety.

Horus and Toots approved of the wonderful new paths which make it easy to wander through the woods without getting tangled up in the undergrowth.  All the same, Toots likes to hide in the long grass to spy on everyone else.

The trees are putting on lots more growth and are looking magnificent – it really is a lovely time of year.

View from the wood to the lilac.

The garden is looking lovely, a Laburnum tree has just come into flower and is a real picture.

My favourite sitting bench is surrounded in sweet scented lilac.

And some flowers are beginning to bloom in the new border and the tulips are still in flower.

I found a lovely clump of bluebells in the kitchen garden, too.
