Eats, shoots & leaves or Eats shoots and leaves.
I’ll leave the decision up to you 😀
Like Gerard, I was reminded of the Lynne Truss book. This is a great little book, and should be required reading for those of us obsessed with the placing of punctuation marks.
Back to the photos. Very nice Jude, and made me feel that the seasonal change is well and truly here.
Regards as always, Pete. x.
😛 [the thought never entered my head… ahem]
Excellent shots! Explosion of colours…I’m jealous…we aren’t quite there yet over here!
It’s just the little things you notice. I’m checking my fuchsia plants every day to see if there are any signs of life or if they are well and truly dead. It hasn’t been that cold here, but some of them are not very hardy. Hope it warms up for you guys soon!
We have hope of hitting 50F tomorrow so I’m told. But will be a day of rain. However, this is not bad….perhaps it will get rid of the last of the snow still laying on the ground over here…….
I know just what you mean about looking for those signs of life…..we are in a new home, so I’m not even sure what was here before but I’m still out there everyday seeing if these apparently dead brown sticks will find new life……
That’s exciting, you just don’t know what is going to erupt! Hope you have lots of pleasant surprises 😀
Me too!
How wonderful, Jude. An English spring is hard to beat once everything get going. 🙂
Indeed Sylvia. Every day brings something new.
Bring it ON. Evidence of spring. Oh my. While driving down my street this morning, I thought I noticed little nubs on tree branches. How can that be? It’s been so cold. Maybe I’m right. Thank you for sharing your spring so far. ❤ ❤
I can’t wait for the gardens to open… 😕
Sigh. Me tooooooo. ❤
This is what I love about spring – all the fresh new shoots everywhere. 🙂
And more every day, it’s like Christmas, no, it’s BETTER than Christmas. It lasts for months…
Christmas lasts for months too….. from September to December 25th! 😦
I know what you mean though, the fact that spring takes its time and arrives gradually is lovely.
If that paeonia delavayii is yours I’m seriously jealous!
No need Gilly, this was taken in the RHS Wisley garden. I don’t have a single peony 😦
Spring must be on the way, although I saw a photo of people in London on Facebook and they were wearing very wintery clothing.
It’s turned cold again with a raw wind from the north.
29 degrees here again today! Summer just goes on and on. Yippee I say!
…and people in the south are nesh 😀 😀 😉
Absolutely gorgeous 🙂 xx
Just saw a tree in pink blossom today – must go get a picture 🙂
