Nice to see entire trees in blossom, we seldom get this here as the flowers are mostly hidden by the many leaves.

I usually find a twig to put in water with a few daffs and then hang the little eggs and chicks etc from it. Didn't do it last year. It's ages since I made a Simnel cake so I'm looking forward to it.

I think the black and white cat comes from across the gardens at the back whereas the others live either next door or scross the road which is why we know their names.

The new school replaced an old Victorian one around the corner which was demolished and a new residential care centre built. They did leave the recreation ground as it was, thank goodness, as the paths are a short cut when you walk into town and less hilly than the walk along the main road. It's a shame you can't grow sweet peas, I love their colour and fragrance in the summer.

I'll probably make the Simnel Cake on Wednesday. There is a lovely Magnolia tree just down the road from here. It reminds me of the huge one in front of Ayscoughfee Hall which flowered each Spring for the Tulip Festival, when I worked there. Perhaps I'll resurect Tilly Findlow and write a story around her and blossom time. See you soon via Zoom and then perhaps later this year we can meet properly:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-72644194695686341532021-03-28T04:17:28.454+01:002021-03-28T04:17:28.454+01:00The blossom trees are gorgeous & to think ours...The blossom trees are gorgeous & to think ours are all losing their leaves hear in Oz.
