A watercolour cornflower and some shells to cheer up a damp Wednesday.

A little flower faffing cut from the garden in between the rain showers. Must be a bank holiday!

“I hope the sun pours light upon our skin. And we melt into each other,
into everything. Maybe the trees will speak, as they sometimes do.
Whispers from the shade.

I couldn’t understand why the heron was letting me get so close and then I realised he was stalking the moorhen chicks. 😞 #lindowcommon

The lollipop spikes of persicaria are flowering in my garden and will last for weeks, the roses are budding up nicely and the foxgloves and astrantia won’t be far behind. Happy May Day Sunday!! #gardenchat

Pretty in pink from the garden today to celebrate May Day.
