Here are the Wisteria in the castle courtyard. Everything in England is blooming much earlier this year because the weather has been so warm (around +20 C for the past two weeks or so). The dryness is once again, however, raising questions about how water should be allocated (see this for a description of the problems faced last year).

Here is the view of the castle gardens from my office window (through the crenellations at the top of the parapet).
