The Spring Thread 🌸 💐 🌺

[Tatooine_legend1]

Just seen the weather for week ahead forecast on bbc website. How mad is it that we will go through a colder snap next week? It is almost May and we are barely seeing temps above 13/14c at the moment. At least not where I am in East of England..

Washing out on the line today, bliss. Still chilly at points though, this weather is so weird.

Spring flowers are just the best. And look at that industrious little ladybird. Hopefully he’s dealing with the lily beetle larvae for me

Finally starting to feel a bit of warmth coming through, yay! I’m so glad our hedges are growing back as I cut one back too much last summer and made a big gap I have put up all the canes for my sweet peas and runner beans. The sweet peas seeds are just coming up in a wee pot on the window sill, while the beans are a bit ahead of themselves and are already about 30cm high and desperate to be potted out! Should I wait another month or take a risk and put them out? (In the southwest)

It was lovely where I am. Me and my Mr had an 8km walk then I planted some primroses I got for 50p the other day.

Happy first day of Spring! In typical British weather it’s absolutely lashing down here

Birds are virtually silent where I am. Must be their hangovers from celebrating

It’s so warm today! Got my washing out, but I’m not letting it fool me as I imagine it will be back to snow in a few weeks

Spring has arrived today in Bucks! I’ve got two loads of washing on the line, I’m wearing my Birkenstocks, and taking the kids to the park for ice cream! I’m a May baby so Spring is definitely my season!

I honestly dread the summer months. I don’t cope in high temps and my kids don’t sleep!

Me and hubby are avid hot cross bun triers! Our top one is the Tesco salted caramel and chocolate ones too. Although all Tesco finest ones are delicious!

Mixed day,

Giant hailstones = bad.

Lemon and white chocolate hot cross buns (Sainsburys) = good.

I had to de-ice my car this morning

 

[coconochanel]

Anyone hung their washing out yet?

 

[Moongirl69]

Beautiful day here. First load of washing is out. Planting the rest of my veg this afternoon.
Happy weekend all

Windy and cold here but sunny, and some beautiful birdsong I love the springtime birdsong in the evening.

Got my washing out for the first time this year today! Blue skies and a nice breeze

 

[coconochanel]

Great idea thank you, should we include Easter in this thread as well? I'm very partial to decorating for the Spring and love Easter

Oh yes I've already bought my Easter eggs

Doesn't it make a difference though waking up to light morning instead a of a dark morning?.

Yeah because he won’t go back to sleep no seriously I do love the brighter mornings and evenings, it makes such a difference to my mood.
