Mari's Travels with her Camera
Words and Images from around the World
Debbie’s theme this week for One Word Sunday is SPRING.
So, I dashed into the garden with my camera and took these signs of spring today before the coming heatwave shrivels them up – if we believe the weather forecast, that is. But if we do bask in tropical heat from Tuesday, I won’t mind as the thought of warm weather at the moment just makes me sing.

Thank you. I shall feel more uplifted when my hairdresser is back at work. Until then, I lurk in the shadows.

Thanks, Marie. I do like blooms and colour in the garden. It’s not at all an organized space or a tidy plot but it can be a riot of colour – sometimes.

Very beautiful. I think you’re quite happy seeing those flowers and blossoms.

Yes, I am. The daffodils have nearly all faded now but the tulips are coming out and if the wind holds off for a while I’ll enjoy them.

Oh, I do miss my rhodies! Taking consolation in my creamy white camellia. That pink one is lovely, Mari 🙂 🙂

I love rhododendrons. In my old home we had masses as we had an enormous garden, we had yellows, oranges, reds, purples, all colours. My brother, who lives in Ireland, has a constant battle digging them up as they grow like wild bushes on his ground which is very peaty, and he rather distains my paltry bush when he comes over here.

Nothing like a show garden like Cragside in May! 🙂 🙂 Yorkshire Sculpture Park isn’t bad either.

I haven’t seen either of those but Exbury Gardens in Hampshire is a place I try and visit during the Azalea and Rhodie season. It’s fabulous.

Most plants and flowers are hardier than we give them credit for at this time of year and can survive a few days of chill 🙂 We saw some yesterday at Bushy Park and their buds were still tightly closed so yours are definitely ahead of ours here!

New life in Spring is always usually full of cheerful flowers. I loved being in the Uk during Spring, even in the rain.

We are generally a few degrees higher than the nearest mainland centre, have supposedly two hours more sunshine, and our food-growing centre, the Arreton Valley, (from which a lot of your tomatoes may come) has a climate equivalent to Bordeaux and produces many varieties of tomatoes, asparagus, mushrooms, cucumbers etc. in exportable quantities and of course, we have the Garlic Farm. We also produce very good cheese plus of course, like everywhere else, we have gin, cider and beer production but we also have rum now and we have three vineyards. This is all in addition to the normal vegetables which grow and are sold from farm shops and local markets.
