April 2nd – In these difficult and very strange times, I’m finding solace and joy in small things.
On a sunny morning, what can be nicer than the perfect, but very naturally dishevelled beauty of the common daisy, shedding pollen on to it’s perfect white tissue paper petals?
I think I’m starting to return to basic things again.

April 5th – You know it’s spring when petals dapple the roadsides and fading daffodils, stick to your tires, shoes and bike and you don’t mind one little bit.
All we need now is some sun and warm weather.
Some things about spring really put a spring in the step.

April 22nd – One of the loveliest things about this time of year is falling petals from trees in blossom.
Like nature’s own confetti, it celebrates the coming of warm days, sunshine and light.
To see this delicate beauty, driving in swirls on the breeze, dappling grass and decorating you as you pass is a joy to the heart.
I just wish it wasn’t over so quickly!
April 13th – This made me double take: on the cycleway at Telford, what I thought was one cherry tree with two different colours of blossom. Closer inspection showed it to be two separate trees, growing intertwined. What a beautiful sight!
Also beautiful is the oceans of petal confetti decorating the verges and paths. Such a wonderful time of year.
May 2nd – On an errand to Lichfield, I stopped at the crossing to get over the A51 near the Friary. I looked to my right over Festival Gardens. I spotted this.
This… is gorgeous. Mother and child on a carpet of fallen blossom petals. No idea who they were, but I wish them the very best.
A wonderful thing to see on a dull Friday afternoon.
