A few days later the sun was shining, so I took a walk around my garden with my camera to try and capture some spring colour:
And finally, I potted up 3 tomato plants and a Black-Eyed Susan in my greenhouse.

Spring Flowers
Bluebell woods are one of the spectacular sights of the countryside in England at this time of year. The English bluebell is a lovely flower with its drooping bells in stunning shades of blue, and carpets the woodland in a haze of blue. One of our favourite dog walks at the weekend is Slindon Woods about 30 minutes drive from here. We decided to go over there on Bank Holiday Sunday to see the bluebells. The weather was cold and a bit dull, and some of the bluebells had already finished! But we found enough to take some photos:
We took a flask of coffee and sat under these intriguing branches of an oak tree to drink it.

Aren't bluebells quintessentially English, Linda! OK, we have them in Belgium too, but it always seems they are more abundant - and bluer! - in England. And what a lovely place to share a flask of coffee, too! xxx
ReplyDeleteWe have a few places close by that have a profusion of bluebells at this time of year. I love the colour and the scent of hem. They look pretty magical and the colour really glows. Your garden is stunning. Is that apple blossom? Your peony is gorgeous. You don't see many these days and I love them. Xx
