Il fait du soleil!

When I awoke this morning, it was wall to wall sunshine so welcome after the dreary mornings we've had this week. I'm a bit of a Francophile and got a bit 'Paris in the springtime' so felt a tart was appropriate to celebrate the sunshine. Adrian informed me he fancies a tart anytime(!) and agreed it would be a nice addition to the menu, with the promise that if it didn't sell I could have it for dinner, so added to the menu today we have Leek and Onion Tart. We've had a lovely coach party in from Birmingham today, all really pleasant and chatty, they seem to be enjoying themselves despite the cold weather.

The bluebells are stunning, somehow they seem more blue than ever, perhaps they're just brightening up the dull days. I photographed white 'bluebells' down near the lake but forgot to check if they were natives or not. It's not the first time I've seen white ones at Renishaw but I don't recollect seeing them anywhere else. Perhaps I just wasn't looking.

I hope some of you venture out to see us tomorrow on what is forecast to be an horrific day weather wise, lets hope the Beeb have got it wrong. Don't delay the bluebells are really early and will be over the top soon.
