It has been another busy day of shopping and other jobs that required short drive into town. On the whole it has been a sunny day with clouds around but there was a chilly wind around. Typical weather

Nature is waking up now, and it's good to see. Now it is feeling like we are about to see a burst of green appear everywhere. I have already seen the hedgerows beginning to turn in places. Another thibg

In between the days events and chores I walked with family members to one of our local supermarkets via a small park. We enjoyed a coffee at the handy McDonald's restaurant before doing our shopping. On

Our car was having a service today, so that provided a good opportunity to take to the legs to get around locally. It is amazing what you notice when walking the same route that is normally taken in the

Back to the wet weather today. Maybe just for today, I hope. The grassland tracks were starting to dry up a bit so this will delay the process a bit. Footpaths emerge from thickets into a field and then

With the first warm sunshine of spring still wit us, I made the most of it with a nice cycle ride to Buchan Park. I think the temperature is set to drop a bit over the next few days as it is still only

The Camelias are wonderful this year. Really huge amounts of blooms covering the whole bush. I have seen red, white and pink varieties around the area. They provide a good amount of colour at this time

This plant is an interesting one! I spotted this at one of the local ponds. A very bright yellow flower, almost luminous and has a tropical appearance. There are no leaves yet, but this area has been cleared

As promised, the sun came out today. A nice cool 13°C and wall to wall sunshine 🌞. I just had to make the most of it and get out for a ride. Keeping off the wet tracks and out of the deep forest until

Our wild woodland plants are building up to a big show this spring like these bluebells. A white variety is also in the picture, which is not so common but I have seen them in gardens. Usually, these flowers

Spring continues to show in more places and in nature all over, like these shrubs and trees that I have featured here in my @actifit post. Tomorrow is the first day of meteorological spring. Hooray! I

The rain was falling very lightly, but that didn't deter me from taking a nice walk into the woods near Guildford. I had several hours to kill so I took an unfamiliar path, it was a little sticky in places

For the last few days I have been looking for some wild primroses so that I can take a photo. A few days ago I spotted some whilst driving around town but obviously, I couldn't get a picture, but today

We had another pleasantly mild day today, that's two days in a row, quite a change from the winter blues. I have read that it could all change again as we head into March. A cold snap is coming! 🥶. The

There is a change now developing in our weather at last. The temperature today was a very pleasant 15°C. With plenty of sunshine too. It did get chilly again quickly late in the afternoon but that is to

My main activity for today was a shortish walk of about one kilometer into town to meet up with my sister. It was nice to catch up with her as she lives abroad so I don't see her very often. Thats the

These beautiful purple crocuses are everywhere now. I spotted some wild primroses while driving today on a grass verge cose to the town centre. They are lovely to see in their natural habitat in the

One of the few plants that are blooming is this one featured in my photo and found in Worth Park Gardens. I don't know the species or variety it is but there are some other ones with different coloured

Look at this tree covered in blossoms of small white flowers. It looks like a snow shower has passed by and left a powdering of the white stuff. A real sight for sore eyes. When winter blues are still

Daffodils are blooming, crocuses are sprouting, buds are close to bursting! Spring must be very close now. I hope so! I can't bear the suspense any more 😫. I'm dreaming of those dry sunny conditions where
