One of our committee members has sent this beautiful photograph and a few words to brighten your day.

Spring is coming. A week ago this Chestnut tree had brown ‘sticky buds’ but now the leaves are starting to emerge out of the bud. They will, of course, grow much bigger than this. Next, the flower buds will form and in May the ‘candles’ of pink or cream will be beautiful. Can you see the leaves coming out on trees near where you live?

Thank you Sue for drawing this sign of spring approaching to our attention. We are often too busy with our lives to marvel at nature!
