Beautiful San,a lovely place to stroll through :)

what a great idea I love it they are just beautiful I want to do this to my front grass how fun for easter thanks for the idea have a great day happy Spring FORWARD DAY from the USA!!!

What a wonderful sight all those crocus are. Poulton looks nice. We went there a few years ago and had a look around the church, and were told some interesting pieces of history by the Rector or Church Warden.
My childhood was spent near there in Great Eccleston, which holds many happy memories, but alas most of the people I knew are dead, but I still love the feel of the place.
Your photos make me want to visit again.

thanx megan lovely memories ;o)
aster its the best time in spring, mind you summer lovely also with poulton in bloom :o)
thanx lujean happy spring to you to :o))
mad i went to school with alot of kids from great eccleston, its strange because people think blackpool as hustle and bustle but we have lovely villages all around done we, glad it brought back memories for you, hope you visit again soon, if you do let me know and we will have a coffee :o))

hi joan no probs there is so many to keep up with and if we are ill for a week even a couple of days its hard to catch up isnt it, its a lovely churchyard, have you ever been to poulton-le-fylde joan, i was born there, my mums side from there going back a long time :o))

i think we have passed through but never actually been there i know its supposed to be a nice place, maybe one day..its getting harder to catch up now, for me anyway i seem to be on ages just keeping up with things.:o))

dont worry joan, we all understand, just do what you can, when i cant get on much i just click i like and just give one comment for that group of pics, makes it a little easier when not alot of time joan :o)

:o))

Sandra, thanks for this amazing pictures! Enjoyed very much!

I hadn't seen this blog until today! I loved all those Crocuses - absolutely gorgeous! Here in Huntingdon we have some patches of Crocuses with many 100s of plants in each one. They were donated by the the Rotary Club of Huntingdon many years ago. I took some photos last year & again this year. They were mostly golden yellow with a few whites amongst them. When the yellows were going over out came the purples. I got more photos of the yellows than the purples but they all looked so lovely! Now some Daffs are coming through. I'll get some photos of them as well next week. The last time I saw them they were just green buds.

its lovely to see so many isnt it balcony, there are daffs to come out here to, hope you get some nice shots of them to show us :o))

I'll have to put together a short blog so as to show them off. Sadly the Snowdrops & the Crocuses have finished for this year. :-( There period of bloom is only a couple of weeks - but what a couple of weeks!!!

you will have to remember next year balcony :o))

Only just caught up with this San......I love the photos...those Crocuses are incredible...how lovely to see them every year, those old bulbs multiplying as the years go by....and all your forbears sleeping there in the village, I bet they would be thrilled to know down the line, you and your family are there still in 2010.

Really enjoyed it!

thankyou so much janey, i know my grandad would love to see it now with all these masses which have grown, he loved the land and gardening was his life :o))

:o)) X
