April in photo's..

Where did April go anyone? But it was a good one with a few successes.. the Woodland is DONE and the enormous pile of building rubble that has been the blot on my landscape since we moved in has been removed.  Easter was lovely and we have had lovely guests to make us smile too.

I have been participating in a photo a day mini project with some chums throughout April and so the good news of this is I don't have to babble on and can instead show you April at the lovely Waen in photo form :-) I hope you enjoy xxx
