Our lilac is just beginning to flower.

Love it....... especially that perfume!!

Lilac in April...amazing! Everything seems early this year.

Ours too, Chris. I brought a sprig into the house yesterday, and love the scent!

Agree with Karen - many things seem early this year.

They do Sheila but here the trees are slow to 'green up.' We have a walnut tree in the garden and it has only the slightest sign of life. Also the ash is slow to get going too.

the Oak trees are in leaf but not a sign of the Ash tree leaf here yet! I was wondering if they had got that dreadful disease, but think it maybe is just that lots of things are early and they are just being normal. Hope so!

..just a 'splash' this year then Mum. Same is happening here..lots of things early, but the Acers on the farm, which are usually the first, are only just breaking bud.

Our Ash is still bare too, but I think it is always "tail end Charlie". Hope yours is OK, Olive :)

looked at the Ash trees closer today, they are just breaking out into leaf. :O)))) so definitely a splash lol we had that today!! rain, hail, sleet and a very very windy north wind. ah well it will slow up the grass growth.
