A Beautiful Week in April

The best week of the year so far started on Easter Monday. Sunny days became mild and then warm so by Friday temperatures reached 18C. So I was able to jet wash all the pavings (they seemed to come up better than last year when I was even contemplating their replacement), clear under the trees and finish the edges to the lawn. The advantages of retirement.

The lawns received their third cut, the treatment by Green Thumb seesms to have helped produce a better surface than the much criticised pitch at Wembley.

On Saturday afternoon we visited the National Trust property at Ascott outside Wing. Although it was still sunny, the breeze had turned to a cooler easterly, so we needed a jumper! The daffodils were still out, although just getting past their very best.
