The primroses are still flowering and some daffies too, cuckooo flower is just starting, although the dandelions are romping away as per usual. They seem to just burst into life.<br />Thanks for popping by :)Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-62454876444607580592014-05-08T15:24:06.405+01:002014-05-08T15:24:06.405+01:00Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes and the k...Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes and the kind words Elizabeth, how lovely of you. Raspberries pretty much grow themselves aside the picking, so being able to eat them is a good idea. Love blackbird song. Enjoy your horsechestnut - ours are just starting to flower. When I say 'ours' I mean 'the only tree I know that DOES flower here, is beginning to flower' - but there may be more I've missed I may go and find some later.Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-8864816375561515192014-05-08T15:22:21.761+01:002014-05-08T15:22:21.761+01:00That child will ransom anything, she even took a d...That child will ransom anything, she even took a duckie bathmat hostage once and left a note. She's despicable. I love conker trees and they are a bit feral aren't they the mini-conkers.<br /><br />My birthday itself was a tad dull, (aside the plantation on the wood stove) so I'm having another. Only seems fair.Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-90074063263556921732014-05-08T13:26:05.348+01:002014-05-08T13:26:05.348+01:00Fab gifts - and clever hiding too!

I'm not sure I'd be any good at growing raspberries, but I am an expert at eating them! We have one of the noble Sycamore's growing in our garden ... and it is looking particularly lovely right now. And with the bonus of having a wee blackbird sitting on one of it's branches singing it's heart out. Happily, there's a horse chestnut growing a stone's throw away - covered in flower 'candles' - with the promise of plenty conkers to come. Thanks for sharing and I wish you a very happy birthday.

My two are still at the collect as many as possible stage. Which is fun but those things get everywhere!<br />Hope you had a lovely birthday...Emma-Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355839457272099611noreply@blogger.com
