Higham regulars will be familiar with the sight of our rather large Rhododendron on the side lawn. Those who come to the outdoor Shakespeare may recognise this handy backdrop.

When it flowers in spring, we tend to really feel we have finally said farewell to Winter, but also some of us are reminded of wobbly desserts from our childhood for some reason – or maybe it is just me? Anyway, here is a photo of it as it is blooming today, with a lovely dynamic sky (Neil’s just cut the grass now he’s had his mower fixed) to cheer your day!
