Hubz and I went to 3 different parks and gardens for our Sunday stroll.....
loads of pictures so I won't say too much... but hope you can get a picture of just how glorious it is...
snowball tree... I have never seen this before....
... the flowers look like hydrangeas...
... rhododendrons... and a beetle?
... just loads of roses.... (Bev you would have loved them...)
... the colour hasn't come right but this one was such an unusual colour....
... maple grove was fun too (thought of you Jennifer)
... and fairies under the cherry trees
(I used my little bag from you Jane... perfect for the walks)
... what a lovely corner in the garden... all set for tea...
... and little surprises here and there....
Laurel Bank Park (where we went Michelle) was a riot of colour....
... I think beds of poppies are perhaps my favourite happy sight....
... so clever....
panoramic view ....
... looking from above... an Egyptian theme... all done in pansies
.... just thousands of pansies ....
... and giant spiders...
... and pretty decorative cabbages ...
(one woman dared to invite Hubz for a nibble!!!!)
... then off to Queens Park for more colour...
.... different colours, heights and textures....
... people bring their picnics and sit and enjoy the surroundings...
...so clever....
... such colour....
.... beds and beds of colour....
... these were quite subdued, but unusual petunias...
... an overview of Queens Park...
(taken from a rather wobbly viewing platform at a height I don't really like!)
.. ended the day with a wonderful meal at a Thai restaurant
(Chicken Penang.. and it was amazing)
.... just one more....
Righto, Gotto Go...
