2021 - What I did today

More of the same as I've been doing for the few days - clearing a forgotten corner of brambles and dock with a dressing of honeysuckle, ivy and other smothering plants.
After getting fed up with that, I wandered around, secateurs in hand, chopping at old wood in shrubs and trees - its easier to see what's dead now that the leaves are opening.
More and more fruit trees starting to blossom - cherries, plums, peaches and nectarines, even a few flower on a "never-flowered-before" apricot,

None of my fruit are blossoming yet, probably best with the freezing temps we're being promised tonight.  The trees are all at mouse ear stage.

None of my fruit trees are in leaf yet, never mind blossom
Was out a walk, and even though its bright sunshine, it is bitterly cold so don't think I will be taking the fleece of the plants today
