Bird on a roof, Tyntesfield, Bristol.
Daisy and lupin,
gooseberries,
and dandelion bee in the walled vegetable garden at Tyntesfield.
It was going to be a working weekend - pruning the overgrown garden, doing something about last year's pots, planting, weeding the allotment, picking the elderflowers, spring cleaning.
Instead I packed a picnic every morning and we headed off - in spite of the rain - to the coast, to the river, to the big Victorian house and gardens - looking for the sun - seizing the day.
In case there aren't many more like this. In case I fall into the trap of thinking the weeding is more important than my husband's smile when we walk together, on a path somewhere, just taking steps in the air.
