Wisteria, Trees and Bluebells


Another glorious day and the first day for a while without a strong wind, so the weather is genuinely warm and it is great opportunity to stock up on the vitamin D which we keep hearing so much about. 

Every day there is something new out in the garden (my new cercis for example and a lovely white rubus – pictures another time),  but today it is the turn, again, of our glorious surroundings. 

On Sunday Ray and I had a  bike ride to Greatham Bridge and passed a house which many of you will probably know well;  the house faces south and is covered in wisteria which was absolutely stunning.    It is interesting to see the difference south (as opposed to west) facing makes since our white wisteria is barely showing any colour as yet.  


On our way back we stopped to admire some wonderful trees in a field to the west of Rackham Street.



Later in the afternoon, we took a drive to Waltham Woods which is near Fittleworth and one of our favourite places to see bluebells.   The sun was shining and the birds singing and the bluebells were at their very best as you can see;  despite lockdown, it is a great place to take your daily exercise





Best wishes
