Blossom and blue skies...

What a gorgeous week its been here in the South East, so much sunshine, has put a spring back in my step.

Little daughter and I marvel at the leaves getting bigger  in the hedgerows on the way to school, in the mornings, and these gorgeous Cherry tree blossoms lining the school gates in the mornings, as well as an abundance of rosemary, which smells so aromatic when we brush past it.  We play spot the Forsythias on each side of the road, S always wins of course! she calls them Vasyhthia, oh well she's on the right track to knowing her plant names....

School walk

This other little tree is just outside the nursery doors, in the children's play yard, it still has its Christmas baubles, they glitter and twinkle in the sun...

Christmas Cherry

We could smell freshly cut grass too, such a wonderful hit, that first whiff of proper spring makes you yearn for the summer days ahead. Little S has been drawing hearts and spring flowers, I thought this was a pretty good tulip , considering she is still 3!

Spring doodles

I am still enjoying the flourish from my pink orchid, on its 3rd year now, so beautiful and  intricate the detail in these flowers, I think they look like an alien species, all clones!

Even got some washing hung out this week, such simple pleasures, watching my curtains billowing away, in the strong winds we had yesterday.

First line dry of the year

So with these warmer days, lighter days ahead of us, I need to come out of my slothdom, and get out more, walking, gardening {can't wait to get out to clear my garden} I don't go out much in the winter, unless I have too.

Need to shift some of the winter weight too :O It is much easier in the warmer weather, I will no longer be craving typical winter comfort foods. BBQ's salads and more salads all the way for me! Bring it on!

Do have a  happy, sunny weekend wherever you are :)
