Last year, when writing about the Wisteria in the gardens, I mentioned that "the harsh winter had had its rewards, for the floral splendour around the college is the best for many a year". Well, following the very harsh winter, this years display has bettered last years.
The extreme cold temperatures followed by this period of warm weather has not only resulted in a stunning display, but, as with the tulips, is 3-4 weeks earlier. (Last year these scenes were not seen until 21st May, see blog entry
