Mar 9th 2008PeterGetting My Life Back!
Following on from our mini-break in France, Mark sent me this photograph doing a handbrake turn on the garden tractor – it certainly is the way to cut the lawn – and makes short work of the molehills!
That apart, it has been a quiet week. The anti-biotics seem to be doing the trick and the cold seems to be getting better, so I hope that I am finally shrugging it off!
You may also have noticed that there hasn’t been much mention of Olivia recently. She too has had a succession of winter snuffles, so to avoid the risk of me giving her what I have, and vice-versa, she has only been round while I have been out – but February is the first month since she was born that I haven’t taken any photographs of her!
The storms forecast for yesterday did materialise, but before they arrived, I took this photograph of a tree in the garden. I don’t think I have ever seen it with so much blossom on it, and I was pleased to see that this morning most of it has survived the strong winds! Also this morning is bright and sunny which will bring the lemon tree (still in the conservatory) on a bit. It is looking quite healthy, and has also had quite a lot of blossom on it!
So on all fronts – Onwards and Upwards!

Those handbrake turns ruin the surface for croquet, oh sorry forgot it is en France so not so fussy for boules.
Good to see you up an d about Simon, it is all right for you in Faversham the storms are not supposed to reach you on that side of the North Downs.
Keep well

Sorry Peter I forgot to ask is it a variety of Prunus?

Richard… The bit I was mowing was a bit steep – even for boules – to say nothing of the risk of losing a boule down a mole run (but it would give the mole something to think about…
Yes it is a prunus of some sort – very pretty red leaves – that stain when they fall!
Simon… Great to hear you sounding so good! O&U – home straight (to keep a horse metaphor in play!)
