Still in an English country garden
The warm spell has left us for a little while, but I have the loveliest memories of my visit to Thorp Perrow Arboretum. I had too many photos to share in just one post, so I thought I’d treat my Saturday readers to some sunshine too.
The lake meanders off into a stream here, skirting a couple of islets as it goes, and creating wonderful reflections.
What do you think? I make no apologies for a second post. It was glorious! There’s some great food on offer at Debbie’s place this weekend. Pop over with your Six Words, and have a happy time!

Those budding trees and their reflections are a sight to see! What pale and delicate spring colors, all under a blue sky – I might even be willing to give up a little warmth for that kind of view!

It was in the low 20s that day, Lexie. We had an unexpected warm bonus of a few days last week, and the whole plant world seemed to come to life. It was wonderful 🙂 🙂

He was shocked at how silvery haired he appears in this shot (distinguished- ha! 🙂 ) and, as always, I didn’t know it would be the lead photo in the Reader. I wish we had control of that! Good day yesterday?

Yes I had a nice time with little Joey, blue sky to walk the dogs, a little weeding and baked a tray of lemon and blueberry squares!
I don’t have a header photo anymore, don’t remember it it’s because I didn’t or couldn’t set it up. Have a nice Sunday darling, still cool up there? x:-)x

This weekend couldn’t be more different, though we did manage the bluebell woods at Durham yesterday. The arboretum was spectacular. 🙂 🙂 Back down to earth yet, Becky? I watched Winchester Cathedral last night. That was pretty spectacular too.
