Blooming lovely

 Both Crab Apple trees are in gorgeous bloom right now.

 The white blooms are right next to the garage back door and Ma can see it from her sitting room. It lasts such a brief time and makes a huge mess though not as much as when it is fruit!

 M took this shot yesterday evening across the hill you can see Rottingdean windmill but the sea is lost in the haze.

I hate gardening but I love flowers. The garden is a mix of wild untamed chaos and beautiful areas tended by Ma.

We have a pond full for massive toad tadpoles, hundreds of out of control white bluebells (the blue ones aren't up yet), areas of lovely lawn and other parts that all the grass is gone. Really have some great contrasts in colour and style. To me it is lovely but to keen gardeners I would imagine it would be hell.

Still going strong

A burst of spring

 The purchase of a new camera coinciding with some truly lovely spring weather has presented some great shots from the spring garden.

M took the pictures - he's being a camera hog at the moment - but as it was really bought for him - I'm not complaining.

Daddies little helper - she sniffed at everything he took pictures of! Well it needs to meet with her approval.

Spring is sprung

Hello little neglected blog. How remiss of me not to post on you for so long. Have some spring cheer to make up for it.

I love yellow in a garden and I adore the mix of yellow and purple - truly springlike.

As for the last photo -that was taken using the zoom from the lounge window. Naughty little Kitty Buttons was hunting something on next doors compost heap, I called his name from the window and M managed to get this shot.

The wanderer returns.......

Where have the last few months gone? Well not on posting on this blog. Whoops!

We had some weather!

There has been lots of knitting and reading. But life has actually been fairly quiet, quite a lot of just plodding on day by day.

I am attempting to do the '52 books in 52 weeks' challenge this year - my posts for this and for the weekly Wednesday Madhouse blogging can be found here.

Am off to Bath next month for my birthday so will hopefully will some new waffle and photos to post on here then.

I'm sure I'll find other waffle in the meantime though.
