Long walk comes alive

Driving home from work tonight I noticed the new leaf buds sprouting on the Chestnuts that line the Long Walk - giving them a green hue. Some of the hedgerows have also started to sprout. It is such a welcome sign. Arriving home - and still light - we all darted on to the Long Walk and I snapped some pictures. Pity the fine weather won't last. The forecast this weekend is sleet!

James had some little friends over to visit this afternoon. Tom and Will King. I've included some photos of the kids playing in the set here.
