Oh to be in Armidale



It has been a magnificent Spring in Armidale, with just the right combination of rain and warmth to make the garden looking its best .. with the added bonus of a little bit of TLC from Dot and me. The early introduction of daylight saving in a welcome experiment has given us opportunities to work late in the garden. The local birds are also having fun as we keep topping up Emily's thatched bird feeder hanging high in a tree. It brings flocks of finches into the garden and lots of parrots from the big King Parrots to eastern rosellas.

One bush in the front garden which has struggled to survive is a wonderful azalea, but this yet it has blossomed spectacularly as the picture shows.

Mum and Dad, the garden is looking fantastic! The lawn is so green :)

Great pictures. Wish we had our own garden rather than a communal one.
In the New Forest the autumn tints are lovely.
