Gladioli

We may no longer see tulips but these gladioli are some sort of substitute.  They are the first I have seen growing in the fields.  Work is coming in rather faster than I would like but too much is better than too little.  I did get a chance to walk out by the river and I spotted these on the way. By the way, do not adjust your glasses; St Lawrence church, like many around here, has a pronounced lean.
