A season of longer, brighter and warmer days that feel hopeful and optimstic. It makes me feel that anything is possible.
On a completely different note, I have a request from a friend Carol.... She used to be friends with a lady called Cha Ching Dawson who lived in East Hanningfield, Chelmsford where she was doing her City & Guilds (I assume in embroidery). Cha Ching moved to the Cambridge area to look after her elderly parents who have since passed away, but Carol has unfortunately lost touch and would dearly like to make contact with her friend again. If any readers know Cha Ching could you email me (via my profile on the side bar) and I can pass on Carol's details. Thank you!
Oh how beautiful! Spring truly has sprung...I feel hopeful and optimistic too. Life is good!
ReplyDeleteI love cowslips!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to encourage mine to spread
How wonderful having that beautiful extension to your back garden! Cowslips are so pretty. :)

I love to see the cowslips too but I think that would be another month maybe here in Latvia. I know when Spring is finally on the way when the snow starts to visibly disappear and the storks arrive back, both happened this week
ReplyDeleteon a completely random note; I was born in Chelmsford! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to be able to walk out into that lovely meadow - wild flower meadows are so precious and I love cowslips. Will there be bee orchids later? I love those too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a joyful thing to have on your doorstep......... cowslips seem to have become a thing of my childhood so I envy you them...
ReplyDeleteOh, I love cowslips! I always think of them as very rare, because I never see any anywhere in London. A whole meadow of them would be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic meadow to have behind your garden! We know that spring has sprung here because the Sussex permamud has dried up and we can wear trainers to go round the woods: we've been following the progress of the bluebell growth and each day this week more blue flowers have emerged. I love spring.
ReplyDeleteSpring is definitely in the air. I love your meadow!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how the sun and some spring flowers can improve our mood? I'm even finding time to go up to the allotment although I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the digging there is to do! Lucy xx
ReplyDeleteExquisite!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful spring meadow - you're so lucky to have it as a garden extension!
ReplyDeleteThe weather is just perfect this week - and light evenings too (I love weeding the veg patch at dusk)

Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely pictures. I must admit to being jealous that your spring is so far ahead of ours in Wisconsin, USA!
