The last of the winter!


We took a trip to London to visit Mum and stopped off at a lovely Dartmoor village called Chagford. We had lunch in the wholefood cafe  and stretched our legs.I went into the village library and had a chat about the governments cuts  to our library services.

All around were signs of spring,Wordsworth's daffodils come to mind and even tho that poem is sometimes ridiculed I think read aloud and with sensitivity it is a beautiful and evocative piece

Blossom so delicate and fleeting!


Shelley says "If Winter comes can Spring be far behind?"

The trip was good but when I came home I got a chest infection which seems to me to be winters little act of revenge!

  2. Oh poor you. Sending you a Glasto-hug. Lovely photos, as you say, the blossom is very fleeting. I kept meaning to photograph the blossom in our park...and then it was gone!blown down over night.
