And so it begins

This morning we walked our local woods in search of the bluebells. Not a mass of flowers yet but definite signs that the blue wave is on its way. After that it was four hours of grass mowing for me. The ancient ride-on mower that the previous owners left here wouldn't start so I did the main garden and the kitchen garden paths with my (equally old but reliable) petrol push mower. The paddock, orchard and hillside can wait until I've got the ride-on working.
