Out in my car, I saw a huge tree with clouds of white blossom so I parked and took some photos. I thought it was blackthorn (confirmed via trusty google). And Ray tells me this blossom is the precursor of your sloe gin.
Thank you. I'd been to my French group and was en route home so I know that it took me 15 mins to get this shot - more time later to choose it and do a bit of processing. Think it's a good job we don't add up how much time we spend on 365?

Oh,Beryl, don't tell me. I think Ray (my husband) has got used to how much time I spend on it now but it took him a little while. It seems to draw me in more and more but I very much like the rhythm of the daily aspect of it which suits my lifestyle.
@quietpurplehaze In time ( years) that they was building the church the village has less than halve of to days population (inhabitants). I always wonder what spirits make they build them.
Thank you for your views, comments and favs. I have this shot as my desktop now and a friend who came yesterday identified the blossom as wild cherry, rather than blackthorn. She went by the wood (no 'prickles') and on checking I find it's far too early for blackthorn. So sorry, no sloe gin for Christmas this year!
Richard, thank you. I took so many that I had a hard time deciding which one to post.
Thank you. I like your shots. A slightly belated welcome to 365!

Thank you for appreciation. I think I'll have to go down that way in the autumn for the sloes.
Thank you - it really seems as if spring is on the way - I think?!

I'm a bit surprised nobody said anything!
