At last after the long and arduous Winter, Les Crouquets is now once again back in full bloom. Surprisingly not as many lost plants as we’d thought – Mother Nature has taken good care of most of her charges. Another week or two of this glorious weather (& some rain during the night hopefully!) & we should be back on track for our usual kaleidoscope of country colour!

Apricot blossom

Apple blossom

Plum Blossom

Peach blossom

Sadly no cherry blossom this year as our cherry tree which was always laden with plump juicy cherries blew down one windy night last June.

Windfall cherries!

We had to pick all the cherries at once – when we got sick of eating cherries we had to find other ways of using them up. Absolutely delicious!!
