Rhododendron ferrugineum is supposed to flower in the summer but has had at least one flower blossoming throughout the autumn and winter and now is in full bloom. The leaves have a rusty coloured coating on the underside which is why it was named ferrugineum. Groomed the donkeys and booked the farrier for next week. Laid a few more mud mats and moved compost. A cloudy, sunny, cool day with light winds.
