Spring Glorious Spring…

Spring has sprung! 

We moved into our new place a little over a year ago but with all the teething issues of an old house with new technology, i didn’t really soak in how wonderful it is to have a little patch of green at the back of the house.

Now the wild flowers have come up and my first tulip has opened, i am sooooo loving my garden! But i must qualify that i have done absolutely nothing to the garden since we moved in so it is all Mother Nature’s doing 😉 (that’s due to change as my boy and i are deciding on what plant / flowers / bulbs to plant in one little corner).

So happy i am (think Cheshire Cat) with these beautiful blossoms, i can’t resist sharing some lovely pictures with you. Enjoy!

PS: i am so rubbish with plant names so if someone could enlighten me with some names of the above flowers, i would be most grateful. They are all wild flowers. Thanks.

Spring Came! Spring Went. Spring Come Again?

Yep, that has been the weather in the last couple of weeks… we had some lovely warm Spring days and then the rains came again and still have not left… so in yet another vain bid to get Spring to come again… (my 1st attempt at tempting Spring to come is here)… here are some lovely Spring pictures i managed to get while the sun shone, ENJOY! 😉

The sun was shining...

What a wonderful Spring day that was…

Hoping for more such days…

Is Spring Ever Coming?…

Yes, that is a question a lot of people in Europe are asking at the moment. It is already the end of the 1st week of April and still we are below 10 degrees C for temps… and people over in England have reported snowfall!

But a late Spring isn’t stopping the boys from playing outside a whole lot. Tobias and his friends have been venturing outside with the football and bikes and scooters for more than 2 weeks now.

Here’s a shot (a rather poor one i’m afraid) of them playing football just in front of our apartment block:

i like that they have one actual goalpost and the other one is made of a bicycle and a coat ;)

And in an effort to hurry Spring on, i’ve decided to hang a very cute bird house, complete with 3 little birds, handmade by Tobias on our front door (yes i know a cute paper bird house with a springy chimney and paper birds isn’t going to make Spring arrive any quicker but you can’t blame a gal for trying… Winter has been long) :

Are the little feathered creatures so very adorable?! PS: this is a mummy boast in case you missed it ;)
Aren’t the little feathered creatures so very adorable?! PS: this is a mummy’s pride in her son’s handiwork speaking, in case you missed it 😉

So Spring! Get a move on and get here already!

Happy Weekend to one and all 😀
