I have stacks of photos to write up and post about from this lovely spring. The garden is overflowing with foliage and blooms, and I am trying very hard not to look at the sneak attack of couch grass which has sprung up through the borders.

This week, the UK is enjoying a mini heatwave. The sudden high temperatures and humidity are a little challenging to work and sleep in, but mostly welcome after the drab and cool start to our summer so far.
