Hello Spring!



I love this place!

Urban and Rural Plants took over this nursery, at Powderham, from Toby Buckland, a few years ago and it’s as good as it was then and always such a pleasure to visit. 

But first stop today was…the adjoining cafe! ๐Ÿ˜








When you have a certain little boy with you, it has to be done…in fact this little sequence reminds me of the old days and ‘five boys’ chocolate! 








After that it was a mooch around the plants.








Such a delightful display!







And not forgetting Mr Toad and Mr Hare!




 

Meanwhile, earlier this week, whilst having a tidy up,  I discovered 7 pieces of very bright pink doilies! 





It didn’t take me long to think what to do! So I cut some small triangles from some equally bright papers…





I folded them into tulip shapes…and …





Hey presto!





Tulips…(not from Amsterdam…but from Newton Abbot!)
