\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Candleland is the first solo album by Ian McCulloch, released 17 September 1989. This album marked McCulloch's departure from Echo &
the Bunnymen in 1989. The album features a guest appearance by the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser on the title song, 'Candleland'. The album reached number 18 on the UK Albums Chart and number 179 on the Billboard 200.
The blossom this spring is truly breathtaking. Heaps of dazzling white blackthorn flowers look like piles of snow dropped on to hedgerows, and stunning white or pink cherry blossoms have turned parks and gardens into a magical wonderland.
Conditions for the blossom have been near perfect, with plenty of warm sunshine and hardly a wisp of wind, drop of rain or touch of frost to ruin the blooms. And even the winter weather played a part, with the bitter cold in late January and early February boosting the growth of many trees and shrubs, and which will help the crops of fruits and berries later in the year.
The magnificent symphony of spring is well under way, each plant opening its leaves and flowers in a remarkable choreography. A green mist is now enveloping hedges and woods as the early tree and shrub leaves \u2013 such as hawthorns, elders, hornbeams and weeping willows \u2013 burst open.
Woodland floors are also turning green as carpets of plant leaves pop up, decorated with splashes of bright woodland flowers glistening in the spring sunshine, such as wood anemone, lesser celandine and dog violets. Even the first bluebells are peeking through in some southern parts of England.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4615776482 - 'Here is a great ceiling of white blossom, some kind of apple I think. We seem to be awash with blossom at the moment. I dont know if its better than usual near me or just a bit better this year after the particularly harsh winter.
Thinking about that theme, the National Trust (NT) have launched a light-hearted competition asking for contributions towards a Japanese-style 'renga' poem on teh subject of the spring blossom.
Renga is an art form going back centuries, where one poet writes a verse before passing their contribution on to another. Blossom, a popular obsession in Japan is a traditional subject matter.
The National Trust's 36 verse poem will plan to track the country's orchards as they blossom from south to north in the coming weeks. The first 12 started at the Mother Orchard on the Cotehole Estate near Saltash in Cornwall, an eight-acre orchard filled with 120 apple tree varieties as well as cherries, pears and plums.
The middle 12 will be composed with the help of the public over the following 14 days, as the trees blossom across the country.
Aspiring renga poets can submit their verses for consideration online at a special website, www.orchardnetwork.org.uk . The best will be picked for inclusion in the final poem bythe Trust's poetry experts. The final 12 verses will be written at Acorn Bank in Cumbria, mid May.
Good for families the events at Cotehele and Acorn Bank will include picnics under the trees, bug hunts, blossom walks and wildlife displays. A great many of Englands orchards have been lost over the last 50 years and hopefully, this will help revive interest in Adams Pearmain, Ashmead's Kernel, Beauty of Bath, Egremont Russet and Sufolks Sturmer Pippin.
Lets see!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4539227102 - 'The rowan, the oak and the holly tree
are the charges left for you to groom.
Each blade of grass whispers Jack-In-The-Green.
Oh Jack, please help me through my winter's night.
And we are the berries on the holly tree.
Oh, the mistlethrush is coming.
Jack, put out the light.
Yes, those 'Jacks In The Green' (yep they are plural !) have been busy during that long unusually cold winter. The results of their quiet labour seem to have all burst out into bloom around us.
The Pussy willow (Salix Caprea) is native to our corner of Europe and bits of Asia. The flowers seen here along an old railway line, are soft silky, silvery 3-7 cm long catkins, produced in early spring before the new leaves appear. Its dioecious in that there are male and female catkins on different plants.
Before the male catkins of these species come into full flower they are covered in fine, greyish fur, leading to a fancied likeness to tiny cats, also known as 'pussies'. The catkins appear long before the leaves, and are one of the earliest signs of spring.
The male catkins mature yellow at pollen release, the female catkins pale green. The fruit is a small capsule 5-10 mm long containing numerous minute seeds embedded in fine cottony hairs. The seeds are very small (about 0.2 mm) with the fine hairs aiding dispersal. To germinate they require bare soil.
This plant was historically widely used as a browse for goats and that might be the origin of the other name for this shrub.
