Trees in the allotments have suddenly erupted in frothy white blossom. It only needs a little bit of sunshine to coax it out. I'm not exactly sure what trees they are. Google suggests that cherry plums are among the first to flower in the UK, in late February/early March, so that's a possibility. Blackthorn also flowers early but they tend to grow wild so I wouldn't have thought that likely in this spot. I couldn't get near enough to get a closer look. They looked very pretty where the sunshine was catching them.
Beautiful! I have yet to see that eruption here, although things are certainly moving forward after a whole week of sunshine and mild day temperatures.
