Some pretty photos, just because it's lovely today

These have been taken over the weekend and I think one of two were supposed to be blogged last week after the St Paddy's post but I forgot - oops. Please do enjoy......

one of the outbuildings up at Gleno (farmers shop/hardware shop/ grocery shop)

Purple Sprouting Broccoli - yay (this was gobbled up)
 Sunday and Sunday
happiness!

Plum Blossom (fingers crossed for a  harvest this year)

happy two tone daff

rhubarb forcing it's way out of the forcer (so to speak)

more happiness, in purple :)
I'm in love with this guy

My bouquet of double daffs and purple tulips - patio doors open, chairs out = bliss

part of our back garden in the sunshine :)

  2. Sweet dear Diana - the garden is starting to take shape. Of course we are thinking of moving things and need extra things done (always the mind is ticking away). But it is beautiful and we have had to eat outside the last 2 nights :) xx

  4. Ah Rae - it's a good close up on a very small piece of Purple sprouting - we aren't really that fab at growing it but at least this year we are getting some. Ohhh last year.... those pesky pigeons!

  7. Our rhubarb is ready to be picked today. I use a shelter around the rhubarb plant and that works really well. But I am tempted by a real rhubarb forcer.

  8. Thank you Vetsy xx I love tulips so much! They really let you know Spring is here.

    Keewee - not much better than sitting outside eating, feels like holidays :)

    Beep Pocock - I LOVE YOUR NAME! We weren't going to be then a colleague of my hubby's didn't need his anymore and sold it to us. Thought we were getting it cheap but it was full price - hahaha. I love them, every weekend the stems are pushing the top off and it looks so pretty all year round x

  15. Love this flower and plant visit:~)

    I like the "happy two tone daff" and the "rhubarb forcing way out of the forcer." But all the pictures were lovely and make me glad you're having a flower rich Spring so I enjoy it too.

    Oh, the first picture...I love how the clouds look like giant waves about to tumble in the blue:~)

    Happy day to you, Carrie:~)
