Spring into colour

It was a gorgeous spring day today in Norfolk, with the early morning dew settled on the lawn, glistening in the sunlight. The air was brisk, but warmed gently through the day, helping the tender bulbs breakout into flower.

Seeing the garden starting to burst into colour and quietly spring into life is a delight, and reminds me of how much mum just loved her garden, she was always conscious to consider all the seasons and how important it was to stay active in her garden. It seems like just yesterday, when she had talked to me about ordering her spring bulbs, so I knew she’d planted them only just last year.

The snowdrops are now starting to fade, but the crocuses are now starting to pop up pushing themselves up through the stones where mum had popped them in. And then there are the gorgeous purple blue, white and yellow miniature irises just sprouting up in pots all over the garden. It really does look gorgeous.
