Apple Blossom Time

And so we come to May....did I tell you it was my favourite month?
In school we did a Maypole dance (with only 8 children the adults in school had to step up and join in!) We made May day cakes and celebrated the coming of spring.

And every day we made our snacks a little more interesting!

 The garden has been my sanctuary in these strange times....

 Our apple trees have had the best blossom I have seen in the past 15 years....since we moved in in 2005

Milo loves to climb the old apple tree

 I have done some art and crafts too...(although I didn't manage to tidy my workroom!)

I did two paintings to raise money for a local cat sanctuary.

 More apple blossom photos-

 all too soon the petals began to fall....

(sorry about the Blossom Spam!)

A short walk around the block one evening we spotted a few bluebells...

 back in the garden I took some close up photos .....

 And one evening we went for a walk in Rough Hey Wood. We went a couple of weeks earlier but we were just a little too soon to see the bluebells at their best....

so a return visit was needed.

 We went from Apple Blossom spam to Bluebell spam!

 I have been doing a weekly quiz with some friends....I'm not that good at it but it is good fun and we chat during it and have a giggle.

 My drive to work is quiet, but I am seeing more vehicles on the road since last weekend.

 When we are in the garden Misty is usually around (Daisy and Milo sleep inside....a lot!)

 I was having a lovely drive home from school one day and then was so, so sad to see my favourite tree had been felled! I did a whole year of photos about this old Horse Chestnut tree (in my side bar)

and now it has gone.....
