Better weather ahead?

Another grey day with clouds interspersed with showers and an occasional glimpse of sunshine on the Campsie hills.  The only encouragement I take in this wet May is that the oak trees are coming into leaf while the ash trees in the garden have still to bud.  If the old adage "Oak before the ash - we shall have a splash: Ash before oak  - we shall have a soak" is right the weather should improve later in the summer.

                                                                                                

 This year's may blossom is also magnificent and just coming into its own.
