We mentioned in our Tuesday Huesday post last week that our cherry blossom was due at any time – well here it is! We took this picture on the Sunday before the bank holiday this week when we had that lovely albeit short warm & sunny spell. We spent two glorious days pottering in the garden generally tidying up and replanting red currant, white currant and raspberry bushes that we “emancipated” from Justin’s parents’ old allotment.

Spring is finally springing so we’re looking forward to the ornamental cherry tree in our garden to begin flowering in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, have a look at the fantastic colour range of the peach blossom on the trees in this orchard in Japan.

 What’s your sign? I’m not a big believer in horoscopes (I’m Sagittarius by the way) but I do love some of the art, symbols and illustrations that are inspired by them. In fact, I’ve started a little Pinterest board with ones that I’d gladly give house room!

We’ve seen LOADS of bumblebees around in the last week. It must be the couple of warm, sunny days and the blossoming flowers that have tempted them out.

Here’s a photo of a bumblebee feeding on gorse bush flowers that Justin took a couple of years ago during one of our walks in the hills around Todmorden.
