Spring is coming!

It's beautiful and sunny and warm outside - spring is definitely coming! The crocuses have started blooming: 

We've almost finished pruning the willow fence, and it's high time for this before the shoots start trying to make leaves. There will be another little pruning session later this afternoon - once I've finished the post stuff, and dealt with the rest of the emails, and finished the other paperworky things that have to be dealt with today.

Sometimes I wonder why there seems to be more desk work on the days with splendid weather...
