In Like a Lamb, Out Like a Lion

The weather is toing and froing. One minute it's blowing a gale and the front garden is vertical with wind shock and the next I'm sauntering around in my sun hat planting seeds and babbling at the hens.
This year a lot of trees have come down in the storms and it's impossible to walk in the woods or the parkland without seeing a fallen tree. During the dry patches I've been able to get outside and feel the ripple of spring in the valley. Here are some of my findings and doings;

I finally found the well of St Hydroc and a whole new unexplored upper garden

Aphrodite in all her splendour. She's the only one who'd pose long enough.
