The gardens of historic Hever Castle are in their springtime glory.
Spring is sprung!
Photo from Hever Castle, Kent.
The first Tulips burst into bloom in my garden about a week ago, and yesterday I spotted the first Bluebells.
It has been the wettest winter in Kent for nearly 200 years. It has also been one of the warmest.
