Budding Catkins

Well I got the sunshine that I wished for yesterday so I tried to get out for a stroll. It was a bit of a struggle and very slow because my back is playing up again but I just couldn't ignore the sun and it was nice to get some fresh air. I decided to try to get to the shop at the other end of the village and did eventually make it only to find that it was shut but I wasn't too annoyed as I spotted these catkin buds just next to it, so it was worth the trip in the end :-)
