We went for a walk through the vine fields and gaurigue with our dog. It was a flower spotters heaven. The tyme is in flower and looks wonderful. Still loads of lady orchids and hundreds of yellow ophrys. In one place there is a wonderful natural rockery with lots of flowers unknown to us. Sorry to hijack the thread for a mo, but I coulsn't resist posting the photos . John. The only difference between the men & the boys is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!    Report

Can't match the photos but just to add to the joys of spring, we heard our first cuckoo in Exmoor over the weekend. A beautiful spring day.  Now back in urban Reading and wishing we were in France!

Where we live now is a dream for us and if we can share a small bit of that then it can do nowt else but increase that dream (that's quite poetic for me but I really mean it). We love where we are and the more we see the more we are surprised by it.... John. The only difference between the men & the boys is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!    Report
