I have just returned from Accrington, with my Eye-Spy book of trees.

All the other trees in Hyndburn are starting to show signs of life, and are begining to bud. Sadly the new oak trees planted on Broadway still look so dormant they might be dead.

I think planting them in November, when it was minus six, was not such a wise or cost effevtive move. At least they looked photogenic for the 'grand reopening'.

The first person to see any signs of life from the Broadway oaks can claim a lucky acorn or some karma.
