On Sunday the weather was fairly dry although rain clouds loomed overhead on the way back from church. The blossom on the ornamental cherry trees along the road is now out. The trees are pretty, although the recent wind and rain storms did damage the flowers. A large tree came down in the church grounds during the storms narrowly missing the church hall.
In the churchyard the daffodils and primroses were in flower.

called The Plummery.
