Summer

In a household that doesn't recognise Easter, today is very much a day for scoffing chocolate. Copious amounts of chocolate...

But the clocks went forward last night, so today is the start of summer.

And to celebrate this marvel, the sun shone brightly and I saw the first catkin on my dwarf weeping willow tree.

Actually, it's the first and last catkin on my willow tree. It would appear that 99% of it is, in fact, well and truly dead.
