Again very mixed weather this week. Wednesday had some of the darkest skies and heaviest rain I've seen for years. The Camellias are finishing their glorious display and now the Rhododendrons are coming into their own. Work is now underway preping the vegetable beds. Susi is a bit worried about the absense of the Mallard Ducks but they have thankfully made a re-appearance this morning.

What a fantastic week we have had with the exception of today we have had glorious sunshine all week. The rabbit fence is now installed around the veg beds and a lot of the planting is underway. I have yet to see them but Susi tells me that the ducks have 5 ducklings with them now. A real feeling of Spring at last with the blossom coming on the apple trees the orchard should soon look spectacular.
Since I arrived I've heard Woodpeckers both pecking and 'laughing' and today I have seen a very handsome male Green woodpecker (Picus viridus) feeding on the lawn around the children's play area.
