Shadowland .

Freya’s favourite Bluey episode is called Shadowland , I like it too .
This shadow caught my eye earlier when Bramble and I went for a stroll in the park . The extra is the photo I had planned to blip , fennel with dandelions peeping through , but I left it too late to take and the dandelions had closed up for the night .
We have spent the bulk of the day outside , I’ve planted out some parsley , new strawberry plants and some radishes on the pen . In the garden I’ve planted out some dianthus and petunia , I’m taking a risk as we can have frost in May but hopefully they will be ok . The geraniums I’ve grown from cuttings are also out .
I’m so grateful for all the sunny days we have been having , they make such a difference.
