I love Spring.........

........walking around the garden today, the daffodils are out, the ornamental cherry's almost ready to blossom and everything's coming alive after the most tiring of winters.
We planted our kiwi trees today and an acacia that we simply couldn't resist that we saw at the garden centre, it's beautiful dark green leaves and bright yellow flowers shouted 'buy me' from the other end of the shop. 
I still haven't mown the lawn,but I have put down my strawberry bed, complete with membrane, so hopefully they'll have a weed free time this summer.
Anky's been ok the last couple of days, still haven't got the blood results through though, I think it's a case of the 'french' oui, la semaine prochaine, meaning I'll probably get them sometime in the next 3 months!
I spent some time with Remy and Bonbon in the stables this mornng. I practiced some flexions with Remy and he's becoming much more relaxed with me handling the cavesson. I did the same thing with Bonbon, asking for slight flexion each side and stretching down  and she's very easy with it, happy to play and I'd say, less resistant than Rem. I really enjoyed it, just interacting and spending time with them.

I am sorry to hear that Anky's been ill again. Hope you'll find something out through the blood tests.
To me it sounds as if it might be worth a trip to Bordeaux?
I get a bit suspiscious if people lack the necessary equipment. Then he can't be using it often. And he has to evaluate what he sees too.
