It's a different year to last April.
Last year, my wisteria was in full bloom on the 12th of April. This year it's in half bud.
There are two ash trees on a green outside, hardly a leaf, though healthy ones for the moment.
The oaks around here are in near enough full leaf.
As good as a test as any this year for the old saying when the oak is out before the ash and all that.
If it's true, it means we are in for a dry summer. We'll see.
