These are Sue Cane’s primroses – the hillside carpeted with them.

Sue lives in a wonderful cottage on Forestry Commission land just outside Lyme Regis and her carpet of primroses will soon be replaced by a carpet of bluebells. Regular readers may remember that I spent an extremely enjoyable few days with her the winter before last hacking at her bracking and preparing her hedges.

A few miles up the road from Sue, Sarah Stacey has been wandering down the woodland paths in the sun…

Sometimes with the lovely Keats, a crucial member of their Dorset household.

And on the way home, another magnificent magnolia…
