The ash trees in this part of west Oxfordshire are coming into leaf and their flowers are dying back.
The ashes seem really early this year, although I've not had a chance to check the oaks. (Ash are ubiquitous in and around the village but oaks are found only some way off - so far as I know.)
Last year, ashes were late, way after the oaks, and proved the old rhyme right - summer splash (though there is apparently no scientific basis for this!). Are we in for a summer soak?
