Your spring, hardly surprising, is more advanced than ours, but it is now well underway here. Each day recently has been above freezing, on Tuesday even getting up to ten degrees with strong sun, many, many migrants have returned, green shoots are poking through the ground, birds are in love - all is well with the world! Have a great weekend, Diane. Be good to Nigel.
ReplyDeleteI will only be sure of no more frosts here when May is on its last legs, though we do not get them often after April. I am always good to Nigel 😉 Hope you have a great Sunday Diane
DeleteSigns of Spring are all around you. How wonderful! I do like to see fields of rapeseed when they are in full bloom. We don't have them where I live but they are very plentiful in the north where I recently travelled. Have a wonderful weekend. I hope you and Nigel are now fully over the flu.
ReplyDeleteHi Penny, flu was not the problem this year it was the tummy virus that FIL brought back from the hospital. We are both fine, but I am not convinced we are totally clear of some lingering bug. We have our 6 month check up next week so I hope we might get some answers. Happy Sunday, Diane
DeleteLooooove coming on these trips with you Diane, spring is looking tres belle in your part of the world. As my fear of flying grows I'm ever grateful to have traveled to and some of the most beautiful/fascinating places in the world, including my favourite Paris three times. I feel I should do something about it but honestly the way the world is today, I'm not sure I want to ✨
ReplyDeleteI have to agree where in the world do you go now and feel safe!!!! Maybe some old almost forgotten island, but then you have to hope the flights are safe as well though the seem to have grounded the problem planes!! Glad you enjoy our travels meanwhile, take care Diane
DeleteLambs are a sure sign of spring!great variety in this post Diane.
ReplyDeleteThe first lambs here were born in January though I agree lambs and spring do go hand in hand. Hope you have a good Sunday, Diane
DeleteI so enjoy your country drives. Would be especially fun in that Aston Martin. Very impressed with your hand held moon shot. Too cloudy to even see the full moon here this month. And the sunset is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI have driven many makes of car in my time but not an Aston Martin, time to remedy that 😉 Thanks for the moon shot comment, from you that is special as you have night skies taped. I was lucky to catch the sunset, I think I only caught the tail end of it. Happy Sunday Diane
DeleteI love these twins are so cute . And yours pictures are the best!! really spring there!
ReplyDeleteThe twins are fun and yes very cute. Thanks for the kind comment. Take care Diane
DeleteBEAUTIFUL sunset. Bet the little lambs are so much fun to watch. I love that in your pics I see no power lines, something we have to fight around here in TN. Do yours get buried under ground?
ReplyDeleteThere are masses of power lines around I try to avoid them. Look carefully at the sunset there a few there. We are though in the country so most lines are in the hamlet itself. Hope you are well Diane
DeleteI always enjoy riding with you. We have auto shows here too. At all the show I've seen they open the hood so the engine can be seen.
ReplyDeleteEmma this was not an auto show, just a few friends out to lunch, some have classic vehicles so when the sun shines we see them. At a show yes all would be open. Take care Diane
DeleteI love sheeps and sunsets. Great photos, Diane. Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mia we have similar tastes 😉 Take care and have a good Sunday, Diane
DeleteSpring is certainly in the air when the rape (we call it canola) is about to flower.
ReplyDeleteWe call the plant Rape but the oil is called canola oil!!! Have a good week Diane
DeleteThis is one awesome post. I enjoyed seeing the wallflower. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty, have a good day Diane
DeleteThese are splendid photos Diane, a wonderful variety that calls out spring.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise, hope all is well. Diane
DeleteThe flowers and the animals are out to enjoy the early signs of spring! Stunning sunset! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThnaks Nancy and hope you enjoy what is left of the week. Diane
DeleteWe saw the magnificent full moon from here too.
ReplyDeleteThe last few have been covered in cloud so this was a nice surprise. Cheers Diane
