It’s Spring-ing

On our morning beach walk, I guessed that this erosion of the dunes is due to high spring tides. Later, I drove around Hagley Park to admire the spring cherry blossoms which are almost in full bloom. They are glorious – but there was nowhere to stop for a photo as crowds of people had come out to enjoy the sight. I wanted to see them in case they’re gone by the time I come back from my North Island spring-time trip and garden tour.

At home in the garden there are plenty of signs of spring too. Everything is lush and growing flat-out. The first daffodils have almost finished, but I’m pleased to see at least one anemone flowering when I had almost given up hope that they would appear.

In the back garden, there are more signs of spring.

I’ll be interested to see how the garden has progressed when I get home in two weeks.
