Abervale in Spring

Hi there, I've just come in from a wander around the Village and can't help doing a bit of skiting. The place is a riot of colour with roses, geraniums and all sorts of brilliant additions to the gardens. The bit of rain we had recently has made a differeence. The lake is now full and the gardens have had a boost. Of course the Aussie natives are well to the fore - grevillians in thier varieties and of course the different coloured callistemons. Old 19th century TE Brown is not noted for his verse but he hit it on the head with his "a garden is a lovesome thing, god wot." Happy gardening all you people - love from Ruth and me.
