    Thanks Kev. The missus and me were out for a walk this morning and were amazed at the hawthorn blossom including what looks like pink hawthorn which I haven't seen before. She was particularly taken with a couple of Horse Chestnut trees which look splendid like you say. Cheers, Darren

    We have lots of those planted in the suburbs as shade trees. Lovely flowers, too - and the flower grouping makes it easy to identify at a distance .

    There's a beautiful horse-chestnut at the bottom of Bridge Hill in St Columb Major, ansum and has me in awe always when I pass it at this time of year. It has it's feet in a river and has probably grown to be magnificent as a result.
