Now Spring is really here

Yesterday I saw a bumble bee, today I saw a butterfly and guess what popped up in the garden overnight - the first two shoots of ASPARAGUS! You have to look closely to see them- small purplish shoots but they are there, which means in just a week or two we shall be eating our first scrummy serving of this wonderful treat.

The lovely thing about having penfriends is lots of pretty cards for a special day, with books from the wish list from my children, I'm one year older  but a  happy simple Suffolk smallholder!
