The media output at 8am this morning was filled with doom and gloom – but – the sun was shining for the first time in days. And, in my new residence, I genuinely am only 4 minutes walk from Hampstead Heath. How was I to resist.
So, hopefully to cheer your morning…. A bank of daffodils in front of Kenwood house, fluttering and dancing in the breeze…
Some early morning enthusiasts in an exercise class, bunny hopping up the steps set into the bank…
A huge white magnolia in almost full flower on the lawns below Kenwood house….
And finally, one of the overflow ponds in the Kenwood woods, mirroring blue sky and overhanging wintery branches – with early spring irises just pushing through the muddy brown waters by the bank…..
I love that magnolia tree !!! Hope I will manage to see it in full blodsom before it’s too late!
Heaven! Thank you – will send pix of blooming west Dorset later. Sxx
Oh brilliant – our mission – to cheer the world!! I was aiming for one cheering blog a day – ambitious…. – but with other contributions…..
If you miss it, Gjoril – we have the azaleas to come – and….. the handkerchief tree!!
