Spring

 
Spring arrived yesterday but sadly it didnt stay and there is a cold biting wind again today, I made the most of yesterday's sunshine by visiting the Walled Garden at Sunbury-on-Thames and for the first time this year I was able to sit outside in the sun to drink a cup of coffee.
 
Here are some of the flowers in the Walled Garden
 
 
 




































Another attraction in the walled garden is the gallery which houses the Sunbury Millenium Embroidery - an amazing  village project which celebrated the new millenium and was worked on by 160 local people

Alexander and Pebbles keep warm by sitting on top of the boiler 





















I really enjoyed watching the television series 'Mr Selfridge' and decided to go  to London last week and revisit the store.
I was fascinated by this decoration on the side of the store near the entrance to the Food Hall.



 

 

 

 

 

More flowers


This variegated wallflower ( Erysimum linifolium)  grows on a raised bed on our patio and I can see it from the kitchen window. It has been flowering for several weeks now. 






Scillas add a welcome touch of colour



 













This beautiful planter with Violas and Muscari was a Mothering Sunday present from my daughter Emma

  1. Although it is difficult to say exactly how many plants are needed to purify indoor air,Buy indoor plants in karachi Wolverton recommends at least two good sized plants for every 100 square feet (approximately 9.3 square meters) of indoor space. The bigger the plant and leafier the plant, the better.
