Spring Open Day Often in the
Spring, Cross Lanes opens the gates to invite people to enjoy the wonderful
apple blossom. In 2011 a winter that started cold changed in mid March to the warmest Spring ever. Bud development was so rapid we could not predict a date for full bloom and we decided not to hold a "Blossom Day". Full bloom occurred on 19 April - the earliest date ever recorded.
