Monday, we meet again! A four-day week, thanks to an early Easter and day one of adjusting to the clocks going forward. Yep, you guessed it: I’m running late. But the sun is out, the blossom on my walk is gorgeous, and we push on. Have a great week, everyone!
#spring2026It's a gorgeous 18° today, and the birds are being frisky! I'm sitting in the garden while working this afternoon. I can smell the osmanthus delavayi. Pearly Gates' behind me – it's Mecca for the bees. 🐝 🐝
Took a proper walk along the seafront from Goring to Worthing Pier and back. The breeze felt a bit chilly at first, but stepping out of the wind into the sun made it surprisingly warm. Exactly the break I needed to shake off the daily work grind and keep my mental wellbeing filled with positive vibes.
I’ve had the same experience; none of mine survived more than a few years. Strangely, this one is thriving right over the grave of my white Persian cat, who was hit by a car. It must be divine intervention.
Stopped mid-ride to capture this perfect white camellia. Sometimes the best views aren't found at the summit but right by the roadside.
#flowers #springIt's unseasonably warm and a balmy 16 °C today, and the Magnolia stellata in my front garden can’t help but believe spring has arrived.
#spring #magnoliaBeautiful specimen. An Euphorbia desert candle or African Candelabra, maybe?
A quiet moment soaking in the first whispers of spring... blossoms reminding us that warmer days are just around the corner. Happy Friday, everyone!
#fridayvibes #spring2026 #blossomOut for a walk, I spotted this beautiful Hellebore peeking from the edge of someone’s garden. Mine are blooming too, but they’ve taken a beating from the weather!
#spring2026 #flowers #natureIt’s a glorious Saturday morning. After weeks without sunshine, the bright light is almost dazzling. In the garden, the heather looks magnificent, its colour set ablaze by the sun. It has been a constant hive of activity for bumble bees, though today, they are feasting elsewhere. Happy Valentine's Day if you are celebrating it, if not, happy weekend! ❤️
