Lovely summer weather very warm and sunny.

The wild cherry trees are looking good now.

Unfortunately the rape of our countryside has started - instead of rolling green fields we have fields of acid yellow. Oil seed rape is the only plant that gives me a touch of hay fever. Sore throat, headachy and sneezes. Coming along the motorway from junction 38 you really need sunglasses as the yellow fields dominate the view. This crops has also been blamed for the increase in pests such as pollen beetles and pests that affect brassicas. It is also straying onto the verges and threatening to compete with our wild flowers. I suppose you have guessed that I hate it! If anyone wants to start a petition against it - I'll sign.

The garden centres were heaving but we had to pay a visit. I got some lovely fritillaries one snakeskin and another white. The snakeskin one has just developed white flowers and snakeskin flowers!

Weekend 22 April

This weekend was rather cloudy and probably not the best time to take my monthly photos but that's life
