Berberis, Surfers and Evening Sun

1   The sky was blue and the Berberis flowers golden in today’s sunshine.

2   Porthtowan this evening was beautiful. After supper at The Blue Bar we strolled on the beach, watched the fishermen waiting patiently, listened to the repetitious rush of the surf on the shingle and watched a father and son walking together up the beach after surfing.

Silver Trails, New Blooms and Barbecue Smoke

1   It’s been a beautiful sunny day and I’ve been tidying up the garden. Lifting the lid on the rhubarb forcer, I found these delicate slug trails which shimmered and silvered in the sunshine. I’m not sure what the surface film was made of, webs perhaps.

2  The purpley-blue of these little flowers is very beautiful. (I can’t remember the name and the label has gone. Help please?)

Sunshiney Day, Readers around the World and Birthday Dinner

1  The most glorious sunny Spring day today so we went garden shopping for the new patch at the back, more Spring bulbs, a dark red leaved Berberis that will have white hawthorn-like flowers and then beautiful berries for the birds in the winter, a big piece of trellis. I just love the way rain droplets collect in Lupin leaves!

2  Wordpress have just added a feature that shows where in the world people are reading your blog. I was quite astounded  to see that my blog has been read in 24 countries over the last 10 days!

3  Our oldest daughter, Mikki, is visiting this weekend to celebrate her birthday with us which is lovely. We haven’t seen her since Christmas.
