The morning started with a severe weather warning for heavy rain and that's exactly what we got- torrential rain. By midday it had almost stopped and once again the late afternoon enjoyed bright sunshine.
The neatly squared off hedges are all sprouting patches of bright green and soon the whole countryside will be green again. A blue haze is appearing on the verge at the right hand side of this hill. In a week it will be covered with bluebells. Even though you are not supposed to I always stop and pick bunches of bluebells from here because they look so lovely in the kitchen.
As well as the bluebells there are these little dog violets. I let them grow in my scree garden until I realised they were mostly leaves and spreading rapidly. Now I weed them out.
Back at school this telegraph pole in the playground is softened by clematis flowers.Linas went back to Plymouth today but hopes to return this weekend for an airsoft game. Romas is desperately trying to work out how to get by train/coach to next weekend's muster near Wareham. So far it looks to be 5-6 hrs on the train and no way of getting back home on Bank Holiday Monday evening. It's not so far but the journey involves 3 trains each way.
