Bye bye winter.

Spring is here, I think we have all established this.

The skies are blue, the  birds are nesting and the bulb's are blossoming.

 However it is also important to say bye bye to Winter!

 I love spring but also love winter as well. the crisp mornings and the views.

 Winter view's go on for miles. The skeleton tree's without their leaves.

I love the fact I can see through hedgerow's and into streams.

I love the feeling of space. Its best on a frosty morning when the air is crisp and everything has a tinge of white and feels clean.

I love the light as it stream's through and the sun spots as they bounce of the lens of the camera.

I love to watch the birds and squirrels as the scamper through the branches.

However, I also love the way the brown strip of wood's slowly turns to green.

The dusting of may is appearing in the hedgerow's.

I do like spring but I think its ok to miss winter as well.

P.S Just to warn you tomorrow will be a sad blog.

P.P.S I am still not shopping.

P.P.P.S I will be crafting this weekend!

There is a tree in the kitchen!!!

I sent LSp a text last week with items to pick up on the way home from work.

It was the usual, bread, milk, apples etc..

I was somewhat surprised to be presented with this.......

Owing to the weather and my lurgy, It did not get planted at the weekend (it also did not make it onto the to do list for some reason). 

It has even started to bud, 

So I best get out in the garden and find a place for it..... next door have apple tree's so there is a good chance it will fruit unlike our barren pear tree!.

My thoughts have been turning to the garden and my plan's for this coming year, I am defiantly going to put in a new bed along the left hand side of the lawn.

The good thing about this bed is that it is south facing, it will be a traditional strip bed alongside the lawn and will have a mix of rose's,  perennials, bulbs and some climber's.

I am thinking of making it very colourful the bed at the pond is full of blue's and whites, but I now want a burst of some fab plant's in a riot of colour's.

I am looking forward to all the planning and planting.....
