‘All England is a garden in May’

[callmemadam]

So wrote Christopher Lloyd in one of his books. It certainly felt that way as I was driving along country roads this afternoon. There was a whole field full of lambs; I wished I could slow down to look at them. Every road was lined with Cow Parsley and there was even the occasional clump of bluebells. Chaucer got it right when he described the Squire: ‘as fressh as is the monthe of May.’

It is gorgeous isn't it? :) I have that book and also "What To Look For In Winter". I should buy the other two :)

Gorgeous but I'm worn out with gardening and could do with some rain! What a party pooper.

I have the set of four of those books and I just love them.

The four seasons Ladybirds are the best - I have them too and wish I had all the other Ladybirds we had when the children were small

I've kept a few out of a large collection I had. I think I still have some of my daughter's favourites, like Tootles the Taxi, Smoke and Fluff and Tiptoes the Mischievous Kitten!
