It's a rare treat to have a rich feast of images showing the garden, orchard and environs waking up to Spring. Friend C has stayed twice recently, in early April and again in early May, and has been out and about showing his customary enthusiasm for the bucolic.
As you scroll down through the photos below - the first four from his April visit, the rest more or less current - you'll see Spring's steady advance....

| Bâche still pinned down and plum tree centre stage |
 |
| The neighbour's old fig tree - still asleep |
 |
| The grapevine appears skeletal, but the wild pear is in bloom |
 |
| Location shot - the nearby Chabrignac château |
 |
| My absolute favourite in this batch - peach blossom in foreground, Renault Clio in the background, new skylight also cunningly in shot... |
 |
| The walnut just stirring... |
 |
| ...but wait - it's dripping with flowers! |
 |
| Photinia in all its glory |
 |
| It's safe to say that one man (with or without dog) did not recently go to mow the meadow |
 |
| So it's not entirely asleep, then |
 |
| Location shot - les fleures sauvages sont partout |
