Allestree Lake
Yesterday was a surprisingly bright sunny day, surprising as the forecast was not that good. Whilst walking round the lake we met another dog walker…“best get a move on he said.. they reckon there is a 50% chance of rain by lunchtime”. Well I guess that means there is at least a 50% chance of sunshine. A glass half full or half empty comes to mind!.
Without dwelling on what the rest of the day had instore for us we decided we would enjoy the blessings of a warm summers day. Flag Iris now wave in the abundance of lakeside vegetation. Higher up in the woods the morning sunshine filtered thru the lush new bright green leaves whilst in the meadows to Clover, Daisies and Buttercups were just magnificent…full of insects, bees and butterflies.
The day continued as it started the only change being in that it got much warmer (perhaps it will thunder tonight). Far too warm to do anything very strenuous in the garden but just nice to potter and enjoy…
As for Buster…well you know what they say….
