Wiltshire in Pictures: Sunshine and school success
Sunshine and greenery have been in the spotlight in Wiltshire - but there has also been a local election and trips to the polling stations. The National Trust's Mompesson House, in Salisbury's Cathedral Close, is hosting its Festival of Blossom until 1 June. And although things have cooled down now, spots across the county were basking in very warm sunshine for much of the week. Tractors for charity: 300 tractors and 4x4s have been out for a special road run on Salisbury Plain in aid of the Stars Appeal, the Salisbury Hospital charity. It is part of Berwick St John Country Fayre. Water wings: Coate Water Park in Swindon attracted plenty of bird life during the hot weather this week, as this picture taken by Jeremy Stern shows. Moving it: The lemurs at Longleat had a chance to warm up in the sun this week - this one appeared to be either inspecting its foot or doing some exercises. School success: Two Swindon primary schools - East Wichel and Rodbourne Cheney - have been shortlisted for the title of the Primary School of the Year at the Tes school awards. Year Four pupils at East Wichel got out into the sun to celebrate. Clear skies: Weather watcher Stormchaser Al took this lovely photograph in Horningsham, a parish which is part of the Longleat estate. Sea of yellow: Many fields in Wiltshire are now filled with rapeseed, which covers landscapes in bright yellow. Weather Watcher Naddervalley captured this scene in Chilmark in the south of the county. Polling day: one of the many polling stations open for the local elections this week at Malmesbury library, where the sign was more welcoming with flowers.
