Ok, not quite all of the bluebells are over:

Strangely, all of the ones that are out in the open are running a bit later than the ones under the trees, when I'd have though that it would be the other way around.
No idea:

One of the places where Jodie likes to lie is under the horse chestnut in the front garden. Normally, this isn't a problem in any way, but lately she keeps bringing sticky bits of leaf bud in on her coat, and then they get stuck to the carpet, and then I walk on them and get sticky patches on my feet.... Yuck. Oddly, even though the trees outside our valley have been covered in candles for weeks, it's showing no signs of coming into flower; we'd have thought that it would have a good year, as it's next to where the big leylandii used to be.
(Our wisteria is also showing no signs of flowers, but it appears that this may because it didn't get pruned last summer. At least, we didn't prune it. Shame, but we'll know for next year.)
We had the windows cleaned, today: TWWOTV said she was getting hers done, and it would only be another £30 to have ours done as well. They needed doing, but we'd assumed it would be a lot more than that! The conservatory looks a look brighter, now. Unfortunately, it has rather shown up where the insides of the windows are dirty.
