After I'd finished my coffee, I walked along the lane a little

To check if the hole was in the same place as last time - and it was - and all filled in - hopefully it will not reappear again

As I walked along the path that is below the garden I noticed that we still had two Hottentot Figs in flower and this bud almost there

and by the time I was heading off with the dogs this afternoon it had started to open - had obviously liked the sunshine
