For maurice1848, I have one flower on my Primula vialli, with which I am very pleased :-)

For those of you who have recently read "Raising hare", we have an adult female hare who is usually to be found somewhere in our garden.  More accurately, we spend our weekends in her garden.  At the moment she is a fixture, partly hidden in a flower bed, ready at any second to disappear under a dense conifer (extra).  We are sure that she must have tiny leverets nearby and hope we get a glimpse of them soon.
