It's Bluebell time! [click to embiggen]
What a relief - after unseasonably cold weather all through April and into May, and following the horrid storms yesterday, last night we had the first relatively warm overnight temperatures of the year (14C or 57F; what it should be in May)! Now we can think about planting out all the annuals and climbers that are currently turning the kitchen into some kind of "David Attenborough Life of Plants" jungle nightmare...
To accompany our pottering in the warm smatterings of sunshine, how about a visit [we wish!] to Spain for a bit of "Sunday music" [sung in Italian, confusingly] with one of the sexiest videos I've seen in a long time..?
I have just one thing to say: Chips! Chips!
Somebody hose me down, please...
Patatas bravas! Patatas bravas!

DeleteI had the factor 50 on for my jaunt down to the beach this morning. And it was needed too.
ReplyDeleteMy Delargo climbers, Eucomis and Asarinas are out of the red greenhouse for good now, as well.
Factor 50? Jeez. It's not Bondi Beach, dear, it's Norfolk...
DeleteApart from the risk of high winds, I feel it's safe to let them all loose now - we're planning to pot all the climbers into their permanent homes over the next few days. As I said to the boys in Essex: "a gardener's work is never done."

I'm amazed how many different flowers are blue bells.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of bell-flowers, but the Bluebell is a very special plant here in the UK - one we celebrate for its propensity to completely carpet entire woodland glades in flower... Jx
DeleteThis fellow sounds a bit like Chevalier.No, no! Not the matadorables. I mean the singing bloke.
ReplyDeleteHe does seem to follow in the footsteps of the likes of M Chevalier or Charles Trenet, I agree. That sort-of-sexy growl... Jx
DeletePass the fan...and the chips.
