Has anyone seen more may blossom before than this year?


Indeed the Hawthorne in these parts [southern Pennines] were groaning
with blossom....on some trees so thick the leaves were almost entirely

A neighbour has a Blackthorne and Hawthorne growing intertwined, a
beautiful sight this year.

That means we're going to get a hard winter, right?
