4th May, 2013....Herbie family at the Abbey!

Pleasantly mild May day, and we met our old pal Herbie down here today, with his wife and grandchild...slipped easily back into our old way of conversing!!

 

 

There finally seems to be a spell of warmer weather heading our way, accompanied by tree blossom and plenty of new greenery. The cows are also in the meadow again...

 

 

 

 

 

...or are they bullocks??! Everything is so late this year... we have usually got roses starting on our bushes in the garden, but in reality, the wild tulips haven't evened opened yet... there were some potted ones on view outside Abbey Mill today.

 

 

The first blue bells are just about to open in Abbots Wood, and there is plenty of early spring ground cover....but it's MAY!!

 

 

 

 

Steve Hillman photography had an exciting experience on Thursday when Fabrice Muamba turned up at school (not unexpectedly!). What a lovely guy he was! SH photography in wedding action for the next two days but strangely we are GUESTS at a wedding next Saturday, so look out for photos of a Hillman wedding!!
