Right now it's the cherry trees, plums and magnolia, with apple blossom appearing later in spring.
Last week I took a lot of photos of the flowers and blossom.
Two butterflies were playing with each other in the garden, doing a flirty courting dance. It was such a beautiful sight. I took a lot of photos, but haven't managed to catch both of them on camera at the same time.
Magnolia, not far from Eddie's school.
Taking Eddie to school, I walked afterwards to St Mary's church. It was a bright morning, and the sun was directly above the church.
On Thursday it was Sasha's night away from home, so Eddie and I hopped on the bus to Oxford after school. Sasha had a good time in his respite centre, he had a jacuzzi which he loves, and went out for a walk in the woods earlier. They also had a visit from a therapy dog on that day.
We didn't do anything exciting, just visited McDonald's and my husband's new office. I bought myself a new tea and some Hotel Chocolat bars as treats for Mother's day.
In the evening, just before bedtime, Eddie took over my iphone and got snapping.
More plum blossom, this time on the way through the fields.
Today is Eddie's lucky day, as his much-expected Detective Pikachu Greninja-GX case file arrived in the morning. We had it on pre-order for a few weeks, and he kept counting the days until this new series is out.
We did a quick shopping in town, admired more of the Detective Pikachi sets in Game shop and had a little break in Costa.
You've really captured some beautiful blossom photos this week! Love the daffodils outside the church and the butterfly too. Eddie looks very happy to be the photographer and very happy with his new game (and his Costa sandwich!).
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah! This time of the year is one of my favourite, along with the early autumn.
DeleteYou've had a wonderful week. It's great that Sasha loves spending time there. The visit from the therapy dog must have been amazing as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!!
Thank you, Anca! Sasha enjoys his respite days (he has them twice a month), and we enjoy our little trips with Eddie or pizza nights in.
DeleteThis time of year is so pretty! All the flowers and things growing.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Sasha had a fab time.
Fab photos x
Thank you, Kim! We all look forward to having a little break from each other, recoup energy and keep sane.
DeleteWow, your flowers and blossom are so much further forward than ours - hopefully we'll catch you up soon ! Cheryl :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl, the flowers are in full force right now. So pretty.
DeleteLove all the nature pictures. Sounds like it was a good time at respite for Sasha.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emma! We're very happy that Sasha enjoys his respite nights.
DeleteLove the magnolia and blossom shots. We were admiring all the colour everywhere when we were out yesterday. It makes so much difference #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! The colours are all around now.
DeleteCosta and not Greggs? Sounds like Sasha's respite stay was a good one. love the daffodils in the church yard
ReplyDeleteEddie's lost his enthusiasm for sausage rolls, he still loves their donuts.
DeleteIt sure has been a joy to see all the signs of Spring come to life #365
ReplyDeleteThe last week of March was wonderful, and now we're back to the cold, and it's April.
DeleteGreat signs of Spring photos.....sadly blossom on trees = allergy issues flare up so as pretty as they are they have a down side for me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like both the boys get positives from Sasha's respite care.
Great capture of the sun over the church lighting up the daffs.
Thank you, Elaine, my elder boy suffers from a hay fever. I have it in a milder form too, I react badly to a freshly cut grass.
DeleteIt's lovely enjoying the signs of spring. Great pic in the mirror! #project365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura! The nature is at its prettiest in this season.
