Horse Chestnut

The sticky buds have romped open since the last pic I posted of them a couple of weeks ago. A very strange Easter, quiet at home, catching up with a few people online or across the neighbourhood drives.

My walk was somewhat marred by the only people I met on a footpath when one of their dogs - not on a lead - chased up to yap at my ankles and the guy was in my face to remove it. In my haste to escape man and dog I scraped my leg on brambles. Shame when most dog walkers seem to be taking extra care.
