The first day of spring and it is perfectly glorious. I am quite sure we will still feel the bite of winter at some stage in the next few weeks but for today.....it is spring!!

Feeling a bit drained today after yesterday attending my fifth funeral this year. I accept that death is a part of life but there has been a lot of it this year for some of us in my circle.

| perennial cineraria |
So I decided i needed the therapy of deadheading my cinerarias with a spot, only a spot because as you might know it can soon become the whole garden, of weeding. This did the job so then I came back inside for a well deserved coffee. I need to make some dessert for a gathering tomorrow, some biscuits for fathers day gifts and morning tea for sunday as well. So will get into the books and see what I can bake to continue the therapy.

I have also been playing with my camera to get used to the different settings, after having it for only 2 years! and have discovered the macro setting which is perfect for the blooms that are popping up all over the place. I am pretty pleased with the results even if I do say so myself.

There will be lots of practising with the different settings over the next 8 weeks so that I can quickly snap what I see when I am overseas from the end of October. I am hoping to post lots of lovely scenes as well as snaps of all the delicious food I expect to be indulging in. As well as lots and lots of walking

| wistaria blossoms |
I know I've put in lots of photos today but I simply could not resist this wonderful glimpse of the coming weeks as Spring dresses herself in her best fashion. i have also been a little obsessed this year. they have done particularly well both here and, I noticed, in Tamworth. There is something so exotic, lush, decadent and luxurious about them. A lot of adjectives I know but they seem to require lots to try and do them justice.

| pride of maderia or echium |

I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. Next time I'll have a recipe
Enjoy
