The day after scattering Mum's ashes the weather changed from heavy rain to bright blue skies. So before the long drive back to London I decided to visit another of Mum's favourite National Trust places at Dunham Massey.
The heavy rain had flooded some areas of the park
But on the higher ground the spring flowers were out in force.
I love those fields filled with spring flowers. They always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteYes, spring is really on its way now. I answered your question about the crown on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteFirst anniversary of your mother dying? I get lost in time. Spring flowers are blooming and summer will come soon and while I was never excited about the New Zealand ship cruise, I am excited about being in England and London again.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like spring is definitely coming along in your part of the world. Love the pretty flowers and do hope that water recedes soon.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind haunting that park. Rain or shine
ReplyDeleteHello, the spring flowers are lovely. Looks like a beautiful place to visit. Happy Friday, enjoy your day. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSpring has sprung there. Are you ready for your hike? I'm off to Arizona on Monday evening to visit my brother. Dan is off to Puerto Rico tomorrow to help with disaster reconstruction in the mountains. They are still repairing after 2017 hurricane. He'll be there 2 weeks. I'll be gone 10 days.
ReplyDeleteWow, you really have had some rain. Hope the flooding recedes soon but I enjoyed the lovely Spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteShame about the flooding but you got some lovely pics of the flowers. Hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHeavy rain, what ranin even, we have had none in a while. Sorry to hear about your mum
ReplyDeleteThat is some serious high water.
ReplyDeleteI can see why that would be your Mum's favourite. I nice place to be able to remember her I suspect.

Nice to have a walk and stretch your legs and fill your eyes with beauty before a long drive. Similar things are in bloom here, except the camellias are mostly done. This spring has been the most spectacular one since I’ve been in South Carolina. So many flowers because we didn’t have a hard freeze, only a few frosts.
ReplyDeleteRain, despite its bad effects, leads to such flowers!
ReplyDeleteMy mum-in-law was cremated; she and husband's ashes were scattered in the ocean.
Oh, I am over from Cranky Old Man's site. I'll be back.
