Daffodils in Spring

We had an unseasonably warm spell in April followed by cooler temperatures now, but we are pleased to see the leaves coming out on the trees and everything is starting to blossom and grow!

The Daffodils this year have been prolific and we are lucky to have thousands which must have been planted many decades ago. Here are pictures of some of the most prolific clumps of Daffodils around the garden







Our new pond which we installed in Autumn lsat year also has a few Daffodils, but Paula is hoping to now start planting water lilies, Irisis and other water loving plants in this area.


The Flowering Current was one of the first plants to show off it's blossom.


We bought part of a building on the High Street of Elgin last year which used to be offices which we are going to convert into two flats (2nd and 3rd floors). There is a Jeweller below. I have been working on totally stripping out the property so that we can refit each floor with modern fire, insulation and modern bathrooms and kitchens, but keeping the high ceilinged Victorian feel. The building is he one behind the fountain on the righthand side of the picture.

As it is now.
