The Spring Thread 🌸 💐 🌺

[Allflightscancelled]

It's a beautiful day here too I foraged some magnolia petals this morning and made magnolia tea

How do you make magnolia tea then? Because my little magnolia is having an impressive second flush of flowers so I fancy giving it a go….

I might put mine out tomorrow, I only do a few little bits, much less than autumn/halloween but with the dreary weather it almost doesn't feel right (and it was the same last year with autumn, I didn't feel right putting my autumn bits out when the weather was still so warm) Typical!

Alliums, Muscari and Hydrangeas.

Gorgeous! Do you plant the Alliums by a wall?

I’m off to Greece! I actually bought beach towels today, I wanted plain striped ones and H&M delivered! Had my current beach towel for about 10 years

oh beautiful. I love Greece. We booked Spain on Monday and I am SO excited for it. Ordered some new dresses which I love and they all fit it’s rare I order a few things and I like them ALL
Don’t want to wish summer away but can’t wait for august

I was just thinking how miserable it is. Grey, cold and wet.

I’ve just been for a lovely walk with a friend. It’s been cloudy but the sun did come out for our walk. It’s so mild too!

Spring is my favourite part of the year so I decorate more for this.
I've not been impressed with the available selection of Easter decor in the shops this year.
It's been poor in my view compared to previous years.

Absolutely sickening. I think most of us are the same.

 

[Ifyoucantbeatemjoinem]

I keep buying plants I need to stay away from garden centres

I've not been yet!! Saturday I'm hoping!! What did you get so far?

 

[OatMatchaLatte]

Back to grey and chilly today in London

 

[Tatooine_legend1]

Well firstly get the washing out on the line then I might go to a garden centre see what plants they have.
what are your plans anything nice?

What kind of plants you thinking of buying?
God knows what I'm doing. Even though the sun's out, I am probably gonna be indoors lol. Tomorrow is a better day anyway, Sundays always are haha.

Ahh I've just found this thread. I love spring, even if the weather isn't very spring like atm. Here are some of my favourites from my garden. My daughter and I planted 200 bulbs in November. Completely worth it now View attachment 2858607View attachment 2858608View attachment 2858609View attachment 2858619View attachment 2858620View attachment 2858621

Oh thank you for these

Well that makes me one too I've only just gotten into high quality bedding and the improved sleep and comfort has been beneficial to my mental health and wellbeing.

Do you use flat sheets too?

Growing up I always had a flat sheet but now i only use them in the summer. I have to be covered at night otherwise I have weird dreams where I have suddenly decided to walk naked down the High St

Happy Easter to you all. It’s SUNNY!

Well I put my bedding out to dry on the line yesterday, with LOADS of pegs because it was so windy. 30 mins later, sat in the 02 shop sorting a new contract and I got a photo from my daughter. Sheet blown into the middle of the extension’s roof. Man, getting that down was a ballsache

Sorry about your sheet!! Can I ask what this tree is? I’ve always admired one in a neighbouring garden! Is it a type of magnolia? (Assuming it’s yours ha)

 

[Nottonightbabe]

Why is it so fucking cold today? I bought some gorgeous new sandals and they don't rub (yay) went out in them yesterday fine, today I was freezing

Ooh what sandals did you get?

 

[strawberrysunshine_x]

Just done my pre-summer Boots haul! Sun cream, lighter skincare, mini toiletries for my holiday. Summer is coming!

Ooo where are you going on holiday. We have booked Spain for august and I can’t wait. I was looking at beach towels this afternoon . Asda have got some really cute patterns
