It was so unbelievably beautiful on the Downs yesterday. It lifted the spirits to ‘over excited / slightly drunk’ (I wasn’t actually drunk, that would have been really bad). It was just lovely.
I ducked into lanes and lay-bys and snipped ivy, blossom branches and budding leaves. I only took a tiny bit in each place, only where it was growing wild and only where there was masses so I feel no remorse. There is such an abundance that it feels right to take some and really appreciate it. When you are up close, each bud and flower is a thing of beauty that you just don’t appreciate as you drive past. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it…..
With my swag, I made a bouquet for dad’s birthday with some very elegant greeny pink tulips and black dill and I filled up a huge vase with branches that will become a fabulous indoor tree as they open up.
Super fresh, the green and white really shows off the tulips. not sure about the theft. did your parents not teach you it was wrong?
