A Sunday Morning Stroll

My friend Andrea and I set off this morning on a lovely walk in the long awaited sunshine. 


We walked footpaths edged with tall chalk cliffs, besides a clear stream edged with primroses.


Alongside the Thames where trees are still bare and new growth is sparse.



Through a brick tunnel that was a bit like this last winter, long, dark and cold.


Coming out to greet the yellow
(taken another time, at Chatsworth)


The sun has really taken it's time arriving this year, let's hope it stays a while.  I was about to send out a search party.

    It has been a lovely weekend - we went for a walk in the woods today - fingers crossed that spring is here to stay.

      It seems to be two steps forward, one step back.

    At least it is milder today, the wind less strong and biting, though the sunshine is weaker than it was a couple of days ago. Still, lovely to get washing out to dry, just love the smell of it.

      I agree, I have put it out most days, dodging the rain showers
