Blossom and wine

The plum tree is full of blossom this year, so I’m really hopeful that we are going to get a bumper crop. We had pruned a few of the trees in the garden some weeks ago, I’m not sure if that made a difference, but all the fruit trees are definitely looking healthier. Today we spent the day mowing, strimming and generally tidying up on the slope.

The grass is looking lush and green, after enjoying the mix of rain and sunshine we’ve had lately. It is spotted with patches of yellow cowslips and daffodils, which always makes for an interesting mow.

It was such a glorious evening we decided to enjoy an early supper up in the garden. A choice of local cheeses, some homemade chutney and a rather nice bottle of Morey Saint Denis.
