Friday in the garden

I’ve been at the Congregational church all morning where they hold the Friday Tittle Tattle Tea shop. I don’t normally go very early but today people had been requested to go if possible as children were coming across from the Primary School. The guest groups at 10.00 am to entertain the toddlers that meet downstairs on a Friday morning and then at 11.00 an older group came with tasty treats for us oldies. Both part of their Community project.
Also Caron, our Pilates teacher, had a stall selling her homemade chocolates with free samples. Who could resist!

I stayed on then for our normal book group, a week earlier than usual because of the Easter break. For the first time ever I hadn’t finished the book. Partly as were we’re away, and partly the earlier timing but also as I had originally thought I would be in Bath this week. An interesting book but I find long chapters annoying, just psychological I think. ‘ The House of the Spirits’ by Isabel Allende. I will finish it having got 2/3 of the way through. A graphic invocation of life in Chile post WWI with a touch of spiritualism.

Another lovely morning, still windy but a bit warmer so I went straight into the garden when I got home and took these photos as a taste of the joyous blooms in the garden this sunny April. My collage will only do 9 so I did miss a few things, the Anemone Blanda are still flowering well under the Magnolia and lots of daffodils, primulas and Scilla which were still in the shade.

Happy Friday everyone!
