The true spring flower. Wood Anemone (Anemine nemorosa). Central Hampshire today. @bsbibotany.bsky.social
I’m just reading Chocolat again. It’s making me very hungry!
Started beautifully but got a bit silly.
A pair of grebes making a cosy nest in Rotterdam.
Read this on my last cruise!
Close-up collage of blue spring flowers against soft green backgrounds. Includes a violet-blue pansy with a yellow centre, grape hyacinths with a bee, a pale blue clematis, nodding Scillas, a honeybee feeding on forget-me-nots, hyacinths in bloom, and English bluebells.
A gathering of blue spring flowers — a small promise of what lies ahead, and an antidote to those Monday blues. Wishing you all a bright and hopeful start to the week.
Same!

Oh, Ich wil not be afrayde
Just as longe
as thou stondest

Not my door - but spotted at the weekend.
I had a tooth extracted yesterday after a failed root canal. It’s been a very expensive and painful few weeks. Today however I am creating a vision board for a better year in 2026.
Yum
Happy birthday Ken
Happy anniversary
Very pretty!
Enjoying the Erigeron in my front pots.
I won’t be getting the next book, that’s for sure.
It was quite an eye opener wasn’t it!
Not a chance! Books before clothes.
Faded beauty
Thank you!
One of the back borders today.
If you could smell this wisteria!
OH is on it!
Stretchy boy
Peony time
