May 2025 Spring has arrived, my favourite season of the year, our garden is rather empty of flowers at the moment, we have a few tulips and daffoldils that faithfuly appear evey year and we have our beautiful butterfly bushes, that have not had many butterflys on them, these past three years. Our Plum and Pear tree are still producing fruit, we nearly lost the Plum tree, it had died after I pruned it, it shot out two new shoots from near the base of the trunk, bearing only a few fruit from these branches after three years,

then a few more the following year and this year, the

tree is over burdened with fruit, that is a blessing from God, our pear tree is the same, both kindly gifted to me

for my birthday in 2011 from my children with

help from their dad.
