Yesterday was Tulip Festival day at the Botanical Gardens. Abi and I joined the masses of people enjoying the sunshine and yummy food on offer amongst the stunning displays of tulips and other flowers in the gardens.

    Oooh, lovely! Nice to see the glories of spring while we are entering the fall season here!

    Yes they are such a relief aren’t they! We have a strong wind in spring that makes everyone a bit on edge, so the beauty of the flowers bursting open is a counter balance to calm the jaded nerves. Autumn colours are so warm and friendly though…
