Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
If the amount of blackthorn flowers is anything to go by, there’ll be plenty of sloes this year. Has anyone ever made sloe gin, I bet Tish has.
The river and mill leat area is my favourite place to walk the dogs at the moment, it’s filled with wild flowers and the sound of birdsong, there the blackthorn is prolific.

Up to my eyes in caking!
Six word Saturday with Debbie. She looks a little strange this week.
A lunchtime walk in hot sunshine!
And what a lot of pretties to see, here are just a few.
But it was over much too soon.
Hi-ho hi-ho it’s back to work I go!
In a workplace kitchen.
There’s something about transitions and thresholds that I find fascinating, yet I can’t pinpoint it. Walking the dogs today, I saw this very handsome, but still very sleepy tree.
Then further across the fields I spy this blossom.
Last year’s oak leaves hanging on.
This little wood wasn’t here the last time I came to Eastern fields.
Hooray for hawthorn, creamy flowers in May, Hawthorn Jelly later in summer.
The tops of these trees are waking up, I must re-learn the tree names that I knew in infant school.
Oh the limitations of a phone camera!
A serpent awakening?
Let’s end with damsons – or sloes?
We’re all observing the late arrival of spring in the UK, and this is my second post for ‘Awakening’, this weeks photo challenge.
I don’t often get gloomy, but right now I’m in a bit of a low mood. Several of the people in my world have been struggling with things for a while and today they are on my mind.
This time last year was a period of loss, and we all know that anniversary’s are powerful.
I took this photo on this morning’s walk by the river, and the sun came out soon after. The good thing is a slight rise in temperature has improved my energy level, so I expect I’ll bounce back tomorrow.
Have a good week everyone.
