Warm Spring sunshine and sometimes a cloudy but muggy day.
Driving along and through the county, catching a few sights here and there.
Ludford, back garden and beyond.
Gorgeous tall trees in Bigby village.
Rhododendron.
Peony.
Market Rasen. Loved its ‘stand alone’ form.

Lilac.
Wisteria in North Kelsey.

Spring has definitely sprung at last. We were in south Lincolnshire a couple of days ago and the fields were very green. You look to be travelling around a beautiful part of the County which I don't know at all. We're used to the flatlands, Kate! Thanks for sharing your cheering photos.

Kate, I have loved seeing these photos, so thanks for sharing them.

I'd forgotten you had grown up in Gainsborough, Karen! Yes, you'll recognise the names of villages in the blog.
Thanks for liking, I was really keen to take a pic of this chap's back garden area. He's new to me, he's lived in this house for 60 years.
He has gardens to either side of his house, plus a smallish area front and back.
I thought how lovely to have this at the back of his garden, with a little stream running right along the rear of his property.

Aw thank you, Callie! I'll have to pass on your lovely feedback about the little bridge, Karen's too!!! He'll be very pleased I should think.

You're spot on, Ange! Thank heavens! Finally, lots of lovely late Spring colour and sunshine!!!! We are certainly welcoming the warm weather and our gardens are delivering too! I have to say, I'm happy travelling through Lincolnshire this past week or two, it's been almost therapeutic!
Glad you like the pics, Ange. Hope you enjoyed traversing through Lincolnshire too.

What a great job you have Kate getting to all the villages and seeing the trees and gardens.
I love this time of year the best!

wonderful part of the world to driving through really at any time of the year, but especially spring and autumn.

Love the trees in the second photo Kate, must be nice driving about this time of the year when the weather is decent

Thank you, Rose, it certainly is a lovely journey to and from the people I see. I do love driving through the villages and the picturesque countryside!

Thank you, Hywel! I’m very fortunate indeed!

You’re right, Eileen, there’s so much around us. The most prettiest of places and countryside to boot! We went out on the motorbike yesterday, up through to the edge of East Yorkshire into North Yorkshire….what a lovely day, the weather was just perfect! Bet you’ve been out and about yourselves!

Thanks, Davey! This village is very pretty. One cottage used to have the most beautiful and vivid ceanothus! It climbed up the whole side wall - it was the most luminous blue! Sadly, I think it has died back or been cut down now.

20 May, 2024

Yes thank you Kate :D She is yet to see snow or a thunderstorm 2 things that never happen here anymore (random I know :) we are hoping to do a lot of trips this year to these lovely places
20 May, 2024
Aw that's lovely to hear ,Paul! It's always so sweet to see little ones out in the snow for the first time isn't it! They get so excited!!!
We don't see much snow nowadays, well, not heavy snow that stays around for weeks!
I look forward to hearing all about your family trips, I'm sure you'll make lots of lovely memories!

I met Maria on coach trip. Look forward to her with little wellies and coat :D Even if I hate snow .

Thank you, kindly, Josee. I think we are all feeling the effects of our lovely surroundings at this time. Such pretty colours throughout this month so far.

Those place names are all very familiar Kate, as I grew up in Gainsborough. There are some beautiful places in the area. I liked the first photo best, with the bridge and the view.
