Woodpeckers and Apple Blossoms


It's my favorite time of year again when nature bursts back into life in the garden. We have woodpeckers busy pecking away in the background as the giant oaks, ash, sycamore and beech trees start to mantle their naked forest anew with luscious new leaves. The old crab tree is full of apple blossoms again and so reprieved from her barren autumnal harvest. The hum of bees high up in the blossoms can be heard, a welcome sound given their scarcity last year. The primroses anemone, bluebells, wood sorrel and forgetmenots are competing with daffodils, tulips and magnolias for attention and the herb and vegetable garden is screaming out for my attendance!

To hear the songs of the birds as nature takes command of the land is one of the greatest joys of being alive and so why not savour this moment and reflect on the extraordinary beautiful world we are all part of.
