Promise
The weather is finally changing and the garden is full of promise of the beauty yet to unfold. The cherry blossom is only just emerging and the clematis is overflowing with buds.
The swap replies are being returned very promptly which will give me a better chance of getting them all together this weekend and sending out your swap partner details. Please be assured that, once the swap is complete, I will shred all your contact details (except email as it will be nice to keep in touch from time to time) and delete the word documents from my laptop. I'm a bit obsessed with shredding!!!! Our paper shreddings are put to good use as they go straight into the composter and so far it has yielded marvellous results.
It looks like we are all of a similar age, with lots of us in our late 40s but the age range so far spans from 19 to early 50s. However, in my opinion, age is irrelevant as we are ALL young at heart and obviously all love reading and crafting.
Beautiful pictures!

Well, Zoe, your garden pictures have really done it now! lol I have to find one of those Nelly Moser clematis! It is stunning! I have several clematis but nothing as pretty or prolific as Nelly. I thought I would get loads of flowers but I don't - just a few. What's your secret to getting all those buds? lol

Wow, that's a lot of spring greenery going on, And is that sunshine casting shadows, too? Things here are finally thawing out and the trees are thinking about budding. It's still April, so there's plenty of time. I can't believe you have a garden planted AND things growing in it already.
