Yesterday was the first Spring mow of the garden; I think the grass is being restrained fairly successfully as there is quite a bit emerging which is neither grass nor moss, but stands some chance of developing into something more interesting. Meanwhile, though the camellias are in fact past their best (this photo was taken a couple of weeks ago), the celandines are still in full flood; I know many people regard them as pesky things, but I think they look like a field of stars. The frail-looking white blooms are wild strawberry, seen very close up. They used to grow in the beds at the front of the Rectory, but are now scattered across the lawn. I wonder if they will fruit?
