I love a bit of colour in my surroundings and seeing colourful flowers around the town will really cheer me up when everything has been dull and grey and wet for so long. It's not always flowers that do the job though, this morning had a beautiful display for me when I saw the sun shining through this red-leaved tree, turning the dark plummy leaves into a glorious stained-glass crimson:
The town is full of red white and blue decorations at the moment for the Jubilee celebrations but there are examples of these colours all around without having to put up bunting. The white of the hawthorn has already fallen, like out-of-season snow, but these luscious white roses were tumbling over a wall and just asking me to take a picture.
For blue, you only have to look at the intensity of that sky, my favourite source of blue all year round. The bluebells have gone now but there are some tiny blue flowers in gorgeous dense clusters on several bushes.
Bunting for the Jubilee? No need, the town has it covered already!
