A promise of loveliness to come

Today is glorious.  The forecast for the next few days isn’t glorious.  So, despite the stack of things waiting to be done, I went to Normanby Park.

I think the world and his wife was there.  Grandparents with excited children, photographers doing photo shoots, health walkers, dog walkers and me.  And everyone had a smile.  There is a real feeling that splendid things are around the corner.

Pulmonaria

Daffodils and primroses, hellebores and pulmomaria are all showing their beauty.

Currants and gooseberries will soon be in leaf and the peach case is full of blossom.

And even this splendid fellow seemed to be screeching at the top of his voice

SPRING IS ON ITS WAY!
