My little nephew is really pleased with his apple tree and takes good care of it. These pretty blossoms should mean that he is able to enjoy the delicious fruits of his labour later in the year.

Number 10
Its finally Election day here in the UK. It’s been a neck and neck race between the major parties up until now so it’ll be interesting to see who wins and occupies Number 10. I haven’t casted my vote yet but will do once I finish work. May the best man (or party) win

Trip to the garden centre
Every year in early Spring my mum visits our local garden centre to buy a range of plants for our garden, this year I happened to have a few days of work so decided to tag along. There was a wide range of flower and vegetable plants to choose from.
There were also some interesting garden ornaments; I love the giant chess pieces and the elephants and cheeky gnomes would make a nice addition to any garden too. I was also intrigued to see the old fashioned styled brooms made of straw.
We got a little carried away and it was hard to not buy at least one of everything, but in the end we chose some strawberry and pepper plants and and variety of flowers so we have a range of treats for the eyes and tastebuds to look forward to.
Hot look
These chillies and garlic bulbs were hanging from a stall selling Italian food (and quite creatively seem to represent the Italian flag). I think they’d look great hanging in a kitchen and would add a hot kick to any dish
Fun at the fair
With Spring in full swing here in the UK, my sister and I have already been making the most of the warmer weather. We decided to take her kids to visit the fair as it was in town during half term holidays. The weather was sunny and warm, the kids excited and energetic.
I wasn’t able to take many pictures as I was having too much fun, but it was great to spend the day with the kids and take in the colours and thrill of the rides and the enticing aromas of nearby snacks
We didn’t get to win any teddies such as these but we did go home with balloons and ice cream, and the kids happy but exhausted.
I’m looking forward to going to other funfairs over the coming months, with I hope, more thrills and treats to be had
Violet stalk
I really like the violet ‘bulbs’ of this flower which look like they could burst open at any time. I also like how the stalk growing tall and straight has a violet hue to match
A walk in Manchester
I recently went to Manchester for work and stayed in a stunning hotel and although I had a few super, busy days I did managed to disappear for a while and go for a walk. I came across some old buildings and a courtyard that looked beautiful in the bright, sunny afternoon. I would’ve liked to explore further but sadly, I ran out of time. I hope that next time I’m in the city I will have more time to explore and find the many other places that I’m sure are worth seeing. I’ll also need to remember to take my camera so I can take some better pictures of my discoveries (and maybe of the fancy hotel too)

All the colours
This is a close up of one of the tulips I bought my mum recently. I love how the petals took on a rainbow of colours as they opened. It makes me think perhaps someone has brushed on strokes of watercolour paint to create this beautiful effect.
