It was nice to be back at Spofforth again yesterday, it's been nearly a month since I was last there, what with half term, emergency hospital trips with the boy, and Di's annual painting holiday keeping us apart. I was astonished at how much everything has grown, especially the orchard which resembles a wild-flower meadow. Di is loath to cut it because of the flowers much to Brian's disgust! I suggested that they just cut a path into the orchard and around the trees, leaving everything else to finish flowering before taking the scythe to it. Meadows are very eco-friendly and de-rigueur at the moment and I think the idea appealed to the botanist in Di, but I've a feeling Brian's tidy mind will win the day, I'll keep you posted!
