Today we have tadpoles. Not as many as previous years, and not as many as the amount of frog spawn earlier in the year would have indicated, but we do have tadpoles. The pond level was pretty low, so I carefully filled it up, that’s the second time this year, just shows how dry it’s been.

It was a glorious afternoon, so I decided to mow the field with the big mower, now I’ve got some petrol. The flowering cherry trees are an absolute picture, and staring up through their white blossoms to a clear blue sky is another one of lifes pleasures. Pity my little red friend wasn’t on hand to sing to me.

I fear they will soon be past their best, so after tea I popped upstairs to take advantage of the evening sunshine and took their picture. Hardly does them justice, but I hope it gives some idea of how beautiful they are.
