Spring has sprung!

Aconites and Snow Drops in our Orchard today, enjoying the sun!

Spring has arrived! Our farmhouse with pretty Aconites in the foreground.

Snow comes to Yorkshire!

Snow arrived again last week, we had about 4 inches, everything looked so pretty until it thawed!
We were very excited a few days ago, when we went into the tractor shed to use the tractor a barn owl flew off the top of the tractor cab! I have never known one actually roost in one of our buildings. Usually they use an old barn down the road. We are hoping that the owl makes our shed their home. We only ever use that shed every few months so it is very quiet for them. Here's hoping!
Compare our pond prior to the snow!
