I have been away for a few days, in Herefordshire, staying with a dear friend whose husband sadly died unexpectedly last Christmas. We have known each other for over 40 years , spent holidays in France together, talking non stop. Like my late husband, our friend was involved in farming , so there was plenty to enjoy in our Breton countryside.
It has been a lovely few days, a little bittersweet, but with many memories laughed and cried about.
Coming home I find my garden has got itself ready for Easter, with the tulips looking very splendid. At their best at this time of year, they are full of colour.
It's a mix of Tulips and scented Narcissi. I've placed pots of white daisies travelling up the path. In the evening dusk there seems to be a glow from them.
Looking more like roses than Tulips, these are a double smaller version.Again I have mixed them with Narcissi.
It's a time when so much is happening in the garden. My Tomatoes are happily growing in the greenhouse, and I have some to give away to our village Garden Sale next weekend.
May I wish you a happy and blessed Easter.

It's wonderful that you had such a lovely meeting with your friend, and it's good to delve into the past.
Your tulips are beautiful. I bought tulips from the National Trust in Cornwall last summer, and they're now blooming in my garden, reminding me of our wonderful holiday in the South of England.
Happy Easter to you.
