The last day of April, again another month that seems to have passed all too quickly…. and what a helter-skelter of a month it has been. April showers have been few and far between, after a wet winter that was a relief. Helter=skelter as the Spring bulbs seem to have been falling over themselves to out perform each other.
Daffodils, Hyacinth and Tulips fighting for our attention. I don’t think I have experienced such a display for many years…nor as concentrated into a shorter timespan.

The Daffodils have gone, and it seems fitting that the very last Tulip standing is a White Tulip… as if its waving the white flag

April may seem to have passed all too quickly but it certainly packed a lot of colour into our lives… tomorrow is the start of May… May supposedly the month of Flowers. Well, it has a challenge to match Aprils colourful splendour.
I hope you have also enjoyed April….
As always…..
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
30th April
