- Last but not least the crab apple is now in blossom. What I love is the pink edges that show before the flower completely opens. A friend in my village has collected some of the fruit several years and made the most delicious crab apple jelly. Lovely on toast😋
- I was in London when my gardener came last wk to cut grass & weed! Just love that he bothered to mow round the primroses that have decided to take up residence in the lawn. These are from a clump that came with me from Sussex 9 years ago and have popped up in neumeeous spots ….. and now the lawn.🥰
