One Sunny Day...and...

Lovely blog, beautiful photos and some very attractive planting combinations. All it takes is a bit of sunshine to make everything look wonderful!

Hope Henry enjoyed his sunbathing!

How lovely after all the problems! Like medicine isn't it?

Thank you for the lovely photographs.

Thanks for reading it! It was a real treat to see the sun after all the grey days we've had. Sadly, it was a one-off. We're back to more grey today and rain as from tomorrow. I made the most of yesterday, as I'm sure other GOY-ers did. There must have been a lot of gardening gong on!

its was busy busy here too...ot makes such a difference to get a little sunshine..x

what a lovely set of flowers. I think ruby giant as it was a purply pink colour and I think they are trying to con us into thinking there is a pink spring crocus.

My Hepatica transsivanica isnt even in bud yet.
Blue pearl is a gorgeous little crocus isnt it. I have it too.

A pink crocus! Whatever next? lol. I suppose there will be at some point in the future, but it seems so unnatural.

To see all these little gems does put a spring in the step especially when accompanied with some gorgious sunshine which I think most of us made good use of.

Some lovely spring photos B it was a perfect day, always is when we go for our NGS lunch...........raining now, but I need it as I have a very important purchase to plant......

Oh, indeed? I hope you add it to your plant list... ;-)

I have, !! the big problem is.....with all this bad weather forecast I have a dilemma, because of it's size I am not sure I will be able to take it indoors!!

Go on -what is it? I shall take a look at your photos now. I'm intrigued.

Isn't it nice to see the crocuses ? They're my fav spring flowers I think, always so cheerful :o)
And nice to see Henry enjoying the weather.
I do agree we need more of this weather.

A wonderful sight and so glad that Spring has sprung in your garden Spritz !! Beautiful cheerful photos....thank you.:)

Smashing blog.....beautiful pictures! Especially the blue anemone blanda...I only have white anemones!!!

Bonkers how nice to see you, how are you both?
Barbara I have not put a photo on as yet, it is all wrapped up in fleece........!!!!

Thanks, Hywel. :-) I don't like the forecast, do you?

Hiya Bb! Nice to see you. :-D

Thanks, Paul. That's very kind. I had some white ones and a few pink ones too, but they haven't reappeared this year. I wasn't all that struck on them anyway.

Your mystery plant is now VERY mysterious, Dd.

No I don't like the forecast. It's too cold. Maybe it won't last very long.

Be careful what you wish for Hywel. It has been bitterly cold here but it felt less so this morning and we have snow. The council have been caught out because the roads have not been gritted yet.
Its lovely to see all the flowers in your garden Spritz. How is the fllooded part recovering?

It's difficult to tell yet, Scotsgran. All the plants on the stream bank were lying flat, and I've pulled off the dead Montbretia leaves which were on top of some of the plants - a Ligularia that was planted next to them is no more, but I'll have to keep my fingers crossed about the other plants.

It has been snowing here, but it hasn't settled...yet.

You've had snow ? :o( I didn't think it would get so far west. I'm glad it didn't settle.

Forecast here also, at the moment it is very, very cold, and we have returned to winter, again.

Yes, Hywel - it snowed lightly for several hours, but thank goodness it didn't settle. :-) I wonder which areas are all white?

It's white here this morning. A bit of a shock. The forecast said it would only be in the east :o( I'm glad it didn't settle with yoiu Barbara.

We have snow too. I'm just about to head out to help clear the drive so we can put our bins out.

The snow's cleared now lol - it wasn't much after all :o)

We've only got a few mm's settled, Hywel, but it's still falling and swirling around in a very strong wind.....horrid day!!!!

It was nasty here - a bitter wind and snow, but it didn't settle, thank goodness.

It's snowed here most of the day but only a little settled.However, the forecast is for 4/5cms over night .So, I suspect we'll wake up to a covering tomorrow!!! Amd the normal road chaos that ensues!!

It had better not arrive here - we've got some travelling to do today!
