Sprung.....

Spring that is, here in Lancashire.     This past week the weather here has been beautiful, sunny and warm(ish) for this time of year so MWM and I got to work tidying up the garden.  I thought I'd share a few photos with you of how it's looking at the moment and the blooms we're enjoying.


Here's my front lawn surrounded by daffodils, narcissus and polyanthus.

A riot of colour

 This is my new glider where I sit enjoying my garden or reading.

We had lots of crocus in the lawns, which died off just before we cut the grass and there are lots of other plants springing up/budding to look forward to  i.e. tulips, peonies, lupins,  lillies, roses, azalea, clematis, acer, jasmine, budlea, nasturtiums, lavender and the lilac bushes.  I also have on order 160 summer flowering bulbs, which should be arriving anytime to plant out.   In the next week or two we plan to go to the garden centre to buy plants for the hanging baskets and troughs.  I love garden centres and always spend far too much because I can't resist what they have on offer.

Did I tell you I LOVE Spring and my garden?
