The recent showers and warm sunshine have encouraged the wild bluebells to suddenly appear at last alongside the fading primroses producing an amazing blue carpet in certain areas of the woodland.
The rowan blossom is on the trees but a sudden gust of wind causes a confetti effect when the delicate petals spiral down to earth.
The rhododendrons are starting to appear in bud in the forest and the yellow gorse bushes line the roadside.
In our garden the winter pansies planted in tubs last November and then covered in snow for two months are still in flower although some are beginning to fade but they have given us the best show ever. The summer azaleas are beginning to flower and attract the bees and butterflies. It is suddenly very colourful everywhere.
