One hour of sunlight

It was Bank Holiday Monday. We were eating brunch (a meal that became a lot less fun when I discovered it supposed to be instead of breakfast and lunch, not as well as). I was just about to shovel in another mouthful of scrambled egg when I noticed something incredibly amazing and downed-tools to run to the window. The sun was out!

The sun only lasted about an hour but I rushed out, camera in hand, to the nearest place that was vaguely photogenic and snapped like crazy. It was somewhat surprising to see that nature was still on schedule even if the weather was lagging a couple of months behind.

    But hasn’t all that rain made everything look really lush and green (and perhaps a little muddy but we’ll ignore that)? I would do anything just to get outside at the moment – rain or no rain, to get some proper fresh air, to go for a long walk (without pavements), to smell wet soil and cow dung (yes really)… To see fields of flowers as beautiful as yours.

      I am loving the green-ness, you’re right – I need to start looking at the silver linings!
      They look like I was out in the countryside but I was actually in an old Victorian cemetery down the road from me, so now cow dung, thankfully! :)
