After a long run of very sunny days, the wisteria has decided to make its appearance almost a whole month earlier than last year. Here is the western side of it. On the eastern side of the front door (not visible in this photo) it is less exposed to sunlight so is a little less impressive in terms of abundance of blooms. Early rhododendrons are about to flower too. In this year’s photo you can see the beautiful replacement windows that were fitted throughout the house last summer.
My little cat Peonie escaped onto the road a fortnight ago and was hit by a vehicle. She survived but needed specialist surgery to put her shattered leg back together again with metal implants. She has to live in a cage for several weeks. I myself had scheduled surgery last week. We are recovering together and hope to resume normal B&B business by the second half of May.
