It’s only a mile away #1

It’s only a mile away, but Monday was my first visit to the Botanic Gardens. I must have driven past the place hundreds of times. The weather wasn’t very good but at least it was dry, and I needed a walk.

Always good to find something great close by, seems you got there just before the weather turned – its blowing up here tonight, (Yorkshire) after a pleasant afternoon!

I live in South Knighton so the Bots are within walking distance. Spring is coming soon. Meanwhile Delhi is getting hotter

oooh – I love the carpet of crocuses. It’s my favourite part of hiking in the spring and finding the forest floor covered in trilliums, or bluebells, or even dandelions. It’s the explosion of colour after months of grayness 🙂
