Searching the Hedgerow Again

Took a short walk through the village and found some very interesting finds. Needless to say that I hadn't a clue what it was so had to contact my horticultural friend.

She suggested that it could be Laurel, so a quick search on the good old internet and I discovered it was Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) ~ with this April flower. I must learn more about hedgerows.
