Kerria

At last, the sun is high enough to reach the corners of the 'yard for a short while each morning, lighting up the Kerria flowers. The plant came from P and C's garden in the Scottish Borders, where we used to live, and I'm mildly surprised that its doing so well after 6 years in a pot.

A day of tying up loose ends, and ticking off more items on this week's 'to do' list. It seems that Warwick Folk Festival is going ahead this year, and we have accepted the offer of a trade stall, with some misgivings...

The news has been dominated by the death of Prince Philip, who died today aged 99.
