A Riot of Spring Blossom

We have had the first really nice day in ages. Everything is still very wet out there but I try to remind myself that at least we are not contending with fires or floods like so many places in the world. The days are lengthening and soon I will be able to get out there and work on tidying things up for all my garden treasures that are still sleeping under the soil. In the meantime I have this wonderful mass of spring blossom to herald the change of seasons. This tree is out be the clothes line so when I go out to hang clothes on the line it greets me with its abundance. Later in the year its leaves will provide media for eco printing or stitching on but at the moment it just a burst of colour in what has been a very dreary winter
