Cuteness overload...

A new family member joined us this afternoon. 'Oakcroft Starlit Virtuoso'

Percy welcomes him with sloppy kisses...

...and more sloppy kisses...

Percy shows him the garden...

...and then he investigates on his own.

Simply beautiful!

It was a bright sunny morning.

Our Cherry tree is looking gorgeous.

We decided it as the perfect day to go and see the Bluebells again over at Ashridge Estate.

The rest are just pictures - it was so beautiful, although the blue sky had become a bit cloudier.

The lambs have grown!

Percy enjoyed himself.

A lovely morning indeed.

Thursday update.

The days seem so changeable at the moment...Tuesday was lovely and sunny although very cold.  Yesterday was grey and poured with rain most of the day.

Today was another lovely sunny day.

The garden is starting to get a bit more colour and there is much evidence of new growth

Pretty Primrose

Flower buds are forming

The pear tree has new growth

The first rose of the year is in bud!

A rather chewed Primrose

Daffodils are starting to show their pretty faces.

Evidence of the blue sky on Tuesday!

Sun reflecting on the leaves late this afternoon.

Percy sunning himself 

He loves it when the sun shines through the patio doors.

He is such a character.  Poor boy had to go to the vet today as he has developed an abscess on his anal gland - not pleasant!  Not that it has slowed him down - the vet was quite surprised, he said normally they are quite unwell.  Hopefully we caught it before it got too bad.

Only four more sleeps before I set off to New Zealand to visit my parents and sister.  I am really looking forward to seeing them again, although rather apprehensive at seeing the change in my dear Mum.  The warm weather will be very welcome as well!

Bluebells - Ashridge Estate

A pleasant afternoon was spent wandering through the woods and inhaling the wonderful scent of bluebells.

Simply a feast for the senses.
