There's lots of Blackthorn blossom around at the moment.  Have lots in the garden and I 'm so glad I took this shot first thing before my newish neighbours lit a bonfire after I got back from walking Tess. Its the third one this week and as the wind was blowing in my direction It meant that I was confined to the house for the rest of the day as I hate smoke, a real pain as I need to do some gardening.   I did have words with them which didn't go down very well.  Anyhow on a good note after phone calls to the credit card company and also the laptop company, all has been resolved, phew!  Its been a right palaver.
