Just now the lilac is in bloom

[callmemadam]

Not before my little room but in a garden up the road. It really does feel more like May than April. There’s a green haze over the hawthorn hedges, the May is fading, fields suddenly look as though a giant paintbrush has given them a green colour wash. People laugh at the British habit of flinging off clothes at the first warmth in the sun but hey, given the past two years, this could *be* summer, so we should jolly well enjoy it.
This is the current view from my bedroom window.

Just now the lilac is in bloom ...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, our lilac soon will be in bloom, it's in tight purple buds right now, but this sunshine will surely help! What a wonderful view from your bedroom - we look out over rooftops, but if we look to the left, through the side window of the bay window in the sitting room, we have a glimpse of the sea. I love April and May. Spring really is my favourite time of year.

I'd love a sea view! Spring is beautiful but I'm an autumn person.

Stunning! Weather is just lovely today. And your wisteria and honeysuckle to come!
