Spring has, at last, sprung

This week has brought a different feeling in the air. After many days of "ah, here's spring!" followed the next day by "oh, no it's not...", finally it feels like it really is.

Wild plants have been bursting forth and growing madly at a rate of knots. The island looks beautiful at the moment, so many flowers and the light on sunny days is quite stunning.

This photos of blossom in the orchard really sums it all up. At last we can look forward to new season crops, albeit very very much later than planned for.
