My Birthday

Today’s my birthday and it has to be one of the most gloriously sunny & warm ones I can remember. I drove Mum up the coast to the Garden Cottage Nursery at Tournaig and selected some plants to mark the occasion. I have a love of meconopsis poppies and will put them in with the blueberries to enjoy the acid soil.

Today was the first bumblebee picture of the year too & it was enjoying the pussy willows. The sky really was that blue! I made my day entirely by visiting Red Point and going to my favourite beaches.
