Spring is here with a vengeance. My neighbours fence is smothered with a delicate pink Clematis. The Apple Tree is full of blossom
which is mixed with some form of Honeysuckle. My Flowering Cherry is also looking gorgeous and blousey. And lets not forget the various Primula plants dotting the back lawn which is bordered by many clumps of Grape Hyacinth
I think that what has really sealed it for me, is not so much the view from the conservatory, but the sounds. During the early mornings and throughout the day there is the constant bird song.
However, there is one sound which had us all confused for a while. We have a couple of horny hedgehogs who seem to have taken up position outside our bathroom every evening. 
Anyone familiar with these cute little beasts will know the repetitive grunting which I guess gives them the “hog” part of their name. Our latest visitors have added a high-pitched mewing sound. It must be the spines.
