A week full of lovely guests, a travelling husband, immunisation appointments (with nurses with next to no bedside manner!!), sick children, and drawn out conversations with (incredibly rude and arrogant) solicitors put paid to me actually having time to post this past week. It sounds like it’s just been one of those weeks all round for a lot of people! Here’s hoping there’s a vast improvement on pretty much everything next week!
This glorious, and very English sight made me smile on the school though – a froth of woodland cow parsley! I promise you I have done absolutely nothing to the colours or brightness in this!
I love how just a small touch of nature brings us back to that sense of deep joy which can so often be obscured by life’s tribulations. Thank you for the beauty.
That is such a lovely comment. Thank you so much! :)
pretty photo. hope your week gets better
Thank you Tanja! Me too!! :D x
The image is stunning! So wondrously Spring-y. :-)
Thank you Krista! (: x
Wow that is a lot. It looks a little like our woods except it is wild garlic and bluebells everywhere here at the moment.
Thanks Fiona. I don’t remember it being this intense last year here, but it is pretty! (: x
I love your photo. I suddenly remembered that we used to call these flowers that lined the driveway to my primary school, alyssum. So I googled to see if cow parsley and alyssum are the same. I found titles like – cow parsley, killer of the countryside. And, how to tell cow parsley from hemlock. I didn’t have time to red anything in detail but it all seems very sinister now. I still don’t know if alyssum and cow parsley are the same thing.
Ha! You are right, there’s a fine line between lovely and sinister!! I think cow parsley and Giant Hogweed are the same family, hogweed is NOT nice at all. Love that this photo sent you off down a horticultural trail! :D
Urgh sounds like you’ve had a really tough week. Hope next week is much better.
Thank you lovely. x
Wow sounds a hectic week, that is a lovely view to capture
Thank you for linking up
Thanks Darren! (:
I’m not familiar with English cow parsley but love the photo. A heavenly place to visit.
Thanks Carol! (:
