Hello Spring!












I took these photos while out walking in Carr Wood last week. I really enjoyed
seeing all the early signs of spring - the first small buds poking through the ground,
fresh new leaves on tree branches, bright yellow flowers and snowdrops in bloom.
Little, wonderful things growing, bringing light and fresh new colours into every
corner of the woods. At home, I've re-potted some ready-grown primroses and tulips
 from the supermarket and tidied up a bit in the garden. I am dreaming of dahlias
for the summer but I'd be happy with geraniums and petunias again. I'm just glad
 that spring is finally getting here. Sunshine, flowers, mild weather - yes, please!

I hope you've had a good weekend. We didn't do anything new or exciting here,
just the usual things. Yesterday, while we were at my in-laws, it was sunny and
warm enough to sit outside and we did, with our coffees and cakes while the girls
ran around in the garden. It was really nice, a simple pleasure I'm looking
forward to enjoying more in the coming days and weeks.

Have a lovely Monday, see you soon!

  1. These are lovely photos. I look forward to sitting in the garden with a cup of coffee! I planted dahlia tubers yesterday, in pots. They need to remain indoors for a while yet but my hope is that once they are strong plants, the slugs will not eat them up. x

  4. Lovely photos. I love this time of year when everything is bursting in to life. I couldn't believe how warm it was this weekend, we were walking around without coats, a welcome change from the dreary weather we've been having.

  6. What a fantastic spring day! Our weather has been so strange. Last week was warm and spring like, today snow and sleet. Glad I didn't put the snow boots away.

  7. Sitting outside, that's something I'm looking forward to doing. I try and sit in the park on my lunch break on work days but the weekends and some time after work will be splendid!
