Never did get around to doing it and now having moved house and have a much smaller lawn you may think I am now put off, but, no, I will do it.<br />We planted a whole lot of these Fritillaria a couple of years ago, they will be sure to find a place in our new garden.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104382970502166560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7165025682657155356.post-79026925408356320082014-04-01T01:46:03.024-07:002014-04-01T01:46:03.024-07:00It is lovely here in springtime - and this spring ...It is lovely here in springtime - and this spring is particularly good for birds and butterflies.

The photos were mainly taken in the Farmhouse Garden, with the exception of the fritillary in our orchard and the last photo of primroses which was taken on the roadside as we turn along the track to Le Grys Farm.<br /><br />I thought they had stopped doing 'Followers', but I was wrong. It is now added to the side bar.

Nothing is more relaxing, unless I see a tiny chore which I must attend to.
