Greetings!,
Woah this is spring with Daffodils popping their narcissistic heads above the plains, lawns and lambs throughout the land. Symbolically, the Daffodil encourages us to 'blow our own trumpets' so to speak. The time to re awaken after winters sleep... or something like that. It's a great time of year with warm sunlight bathing the apricot blossom outside my window as I write this.
Anyway enjoy this issue and enjoy the crumpets!
Regards,
Tim Durrant and the Landscapedesign.co.nz team
