A walk in the park...

I have found my photos and so here is my missing post!


The weather this weekend has been so glorious that it would be an absolute crime not to be outside enjoying it.  We are very lucky in Teddington and have a marvellous selection of parks to pick from, all on our door step.


This weekend's destination was Radnor Gardens, a mere 10 minute stroll for Mr E, Bingo & me.  The gardens are on the river, just where Teddington meets Twickenham.  The park was once the private gardens of the riverside properties but is now public gardens for all to enjoy.


There is a lovely mix of formal gardens, a bowling green (more about my particular fascination with that to come!) and lovely weeping willows whose fronds trail into the water.  Apparently they are the very first willows to be planted.

 

A little bit more Spring...

To accompany yesterday's post I thought I'd bring you a little bit more Spring.

This time it comes from outside and in the form of the cherry blossom that is now lining the streets and a crocus that survived me forgetting about it for a whole year!

A little bit of spring...

It feels like Spring is almost with us, there are blue skies, leaves on the trees and crocus and daffodils popping up all around.

To help Spring along I like to bring a little of what it has to offer inside.  I love to have flowers in every room and own an assortment of vessels to house them in; I have everything from the traditional vase, multi-purpose jug and humble jam jar.  

These beautiful blooms are currently cheering up my Teddington flat.
