Life’s a beech

Our front garden and indeed most of the lane (pictured) is edged by a tall beech hedge. It’s been brown since we got here but my mum assured me that in May it would suddenly turn green and, lo and behold, it’s happening!

In other news, Hector is adorable. Today we’ve been working on his ‘sit’, crate training, and his toilet training, which are all going well, although the latter is a bit hit and miss. As I type he’s snoozing in his bed having just fallen asleep on my lap at my desk.
