 I have had to take the last pansies, some are still lovely, out of the plant pots to make room for planting summer flowers.

I visited Hampton Court Castle in Herefordshire where there are lovely gardens and parkland.  I came across this huge cedar tree, 80 plus feet tall, with a door in the trunk. I knocked the little owl shaped door knocker but no-one answered!

A baby tawny owl has fallen from it's nest in our neighbour's garden amongst the irises, it's mum & dad are bringing food every night, so we hope he'll be OK! Rebecca Cole-Coker
