The poplars……

……. are bursting into leaf. These two poplars are growing just over Doctors Creek and they still have the remnants of a rustic gate stretched out between them. The gate has been there since the days of the Blenheim Pony Club which used the extensive park-like grounds over the creek and along the Taylor River. Maisie and I walked early. There had been some rain overnight and everything was quite damp. I’ve stayed home today, still having trouble throwing off this nasty virus.
