Spring has sprung … or has it ? Tonight’s temperature has been estimated to be as low as -1 0C . Luckily, the plum blossom is nearly
over but the apple is in full bloom.
The Plum festival in Pershore launches on 31st June until 30 th August. A lively event with plum tastings advice and sales. Wychavon has an excellent website www.wychavon.gov.uk/cms/business-and-planning/market-towns/pershore/pershore/events.aspx ! Not an address you will remember off by heart , but well worth a look for dates and information.
My father in law has a nifty gift for making things out of recycled materials. He has whipped up a nesting box for the Moorhens to protect the eggs and chicks from Magpies that have caused trouble in the past. He asked us to save our empty milk bottles to aid ballast as it was in danger of sinking. Must have been successful as Roger saw an egg in there this morning.
I think one of the most exciting events of spring is when the cattle go out for the first time after being inside for winter. They literally spring into the field, then run from one end of the field to the other several times, trampling the grass which by then would be absolutely tasteless !
Bye for now,
