The countryside is bursting into life the trees are budding and hedges greening up. Our roadside verges are a picture with primroses, dandelions, wood anenomes adorning the banks. The garden is creeping out of its dormant winter with the daffodils in full bloom and the blossom just out, magnolia just about to burst.
On the farm we have had several lambs born and they are enjoying lazing in the sunshine and running in the lamb races up and down the field. Our spring barley planted two weeks ago is just about to burst through and our winter sown crops are growing with the lovely sunshine and longer daylight days.
Some friends took me to Hever Castle a couple of weeks ago, the weather was fantastic and what a beautiful setting. The Castle formerly belonged to the Boleyn Family, Ann Boleyn one of Henry VIII wives. The gardens even though just coming to life were quite spectacular and I’m sure are whichever season you visit. There is plenty of room to move around and quiet areas to sit and relax and soak up the atmosphere. Well worth a visit.
