There are those who sing the praises of autumn as their favourite time of year, but I have to say that springtime, especially this Spring, will always be mine. The deep sense of rebirth and optimism and the sheer beauty of the natural world is a great tonic for the soul, and it will always be my favourite. Here are a few local shots taken over the last couple of weeks. It's amazing how the bluebells are going over in many places but out and about there are pockets which are still coming into bloom - including in the garden. We are so lucky to live where we do.
