The Blackthorn came out all of a sudden. A nice show in March. One particular tree in a water meadow off of the M4 was amazing, like a while candle flame on a brown, dry grass tussock field. A combination of weather, work, traffic conditions on the motorway and finally a flat battery in the camera made me miss it and the flowers are only brilliant white for a few days. The wild plums from these flowers are small and pretty tasteless with a large stone per unit flesh. Quite paleo really, not your average (delicious) Victoria plum! Mmmm and don't mention Greengages.....
