Spring is in the air...

I'm no middle-aged gardener, but I love this time of year. I took these shots in my garden at the weekend. The fresh, bright greens of new growth set off the celandines, violets and bluebells. The pond is heaving with frog and newt spawn.

Soon the tweed jacket will go away and a man newly in search of style will have to decide what to wear as the weather warms.
