Budwatch

The wild roses have starting shooting. I thought they were mostly dog rose, but some might be rugosa or other varieties.  There is more elder budding in the western hedge, and hazel catkins and buds in the eastern hedge, plus a couple I can't identify... can you help? There is no sign of bramble buds yet, but some plants are showing off some lovely Rioja red stems. The compost bin is breeding swarms of weeny flies, and the wagtails are back in the courtyard.


Alison, an Anglican priest, is this week working in the laundry with Ian, a Methodist pastor. We like ecumenical laundry!
