Friday February 19th 2021 – Back at work, I stopped on the way to check out the planters at Kings Hill park, which usually have loads of brightly coloured primroses.
Sadly, so far there are only these in bloom at the moment, but others are ready to open, which will be worth seeing.
Still, who can’t fail to be cheered up by a hot pink primrose on a grey February Friday?

February 9th – Sunday I suffered for the ride of the day before, but it wasn’t too bad. The wind was heavy and Storm Ciara was heading in – I’m sure storms were not as bad before we started building them up by giving them daft names.
I remembered that the day before, I’d forgotten to visit the lovely grounds of St. Annes church in Chasetown, over the road from the cemetery. They always have great spring flowers, and that was just what I needed right now.
The easter primroses were well worth it, but sadly most of my photos were poor.
At least the wind buffeted me home.

April 16th – I had to nip to Tipton at lunchtime. Just as the rain came, which was a bit of a bugger if I’m honest.
Still, I donned waterproofs; the day seemed to be warming up and the wind had died away, so the steady drizzle wasn’t a bind.
Then, as I arrived in the town centre, this astonishing bed of spring flowers; a riot of colour on a grey, miserable afternoon.
I don’t know who planted them or who looks after them, but my goodness they are spectacular.
Take a bow, whoever you are – and thank you.
