In Bloom

 

ANOTHER grey and drizzly Sunday but today I managed to persuade myself that I definitely needed to go on a walk.

On our walk I saw the first blossom-covered trees of the year and every Spring this feels like a punch in the chest (in a good way). Suddenly the air is filled with a sweet almond-y smell (almost like marzipan) and the beauty of these first blossoms is simply touching. I could not resist bringing a spray into the cottage ...
