Each year I tell myself I must ask someone if they can identify this tree that is growing in my garden and is currently in flower. The other day the local tree surgeon was in the village so I asked him, but he could only offer that it might be from the magnolia family, so I'm still none the wiser.
Silly me, fancy not turning to the highly knowledgeable forum fraternity earlier! The tree is deciduous and is one of the last to come out of dormancy. It's currently in flower, with each cream-coloured flower reminding me of Lily of the Valley and the bees are all over them!
Anyway, here's a photo of the leaves and flowers and hoping someone can offer a likely identification.
