Spring is here!

These daffodils lining the A338 entrance to Grove are always a pleasant sight heralding Spring's arrival. The bulbs are usually added to yearly from funds from the Grove Joint Environmental Trust which has money from both the Vale and the parish to help improve the environment. In future this body will be managed by Grove Parish Council's Environmental Services committee due to financial pressure from the Vale.

Also worth mentioning here, is the practice of cars occasionally being put up for sale on this verge at the entrance to the village which always makes it look unsightly. This is illegal and the police are on the case to try to put a stop to it. It also makes it impossible to cut the grass properly, however luckily the grass had been mown yesterday when this photo was taken and no cars were parked! Let us hope this continues.
