Spring into summer

bethnoirFeels like summer today. It's warm, there's a mild breeze, flowers are blooming and washing is getting dry on the line. It's downright pleasant. I had a particularly good weekend too. On Saturday I met up with a friend I'd met through the Guardian's Readers Recommend blog at Stonehenge. We each took children and picnics, the weather was fine and the barrows made up for the busy and un-spiritualness of the henge itself.
This is the view from the barrows
Sad, isn't it?
There was a lot of roadkill on the sixty mile journey. Sadly several badgers, foxes and pheasants had met their ends on the roads of South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset and Wiltshire, but on the plus side I didn't get lost.
On Sunday we visited Westonbirt Arboretum, it's magnolia season, beautiful flowering trees that smell incredibly sweet. They're my favourite thing, even better than the bluebells or camellias and rhododendrons which are out too. Look
Pretty and there was a butterfly
Plans are afoot for the Easter holiday, the first week around here, the second in Cornwall. I do hope the weather stays good, I could get used to going out without a coat and umbrella.
