A Peony for your thoughts........

Day One......just a bud at twilight...
Day Two......tentatively unfurling her precious petals.....
 Day Three.....no qualms about bursting into full bloom and showing off just how beautiful she really is...





I think it's safe to say, she's definitely got the 'X' Factor!

How does your garden grow? 
It's good to be outside, isn't it?

Beltane and Bluebells......

The Beltane Fire Festival is an ancient Celtic celebration to mark the exit of winter and the entrance of summer and takes place in Edinburgh each year. There's drumming and dancing with fire, outlandish costumes covering interestingly painted bodies and all-in-all, it's collectively a sight to behold and an altogether unforgettable experience. 


Or, for a more sedate beginning to what will hopefully be a pleasant summer, nothing beats the spectacle of a Bluebell Wood (just ask my pal, Betty, she's daft on Bluebells)..........





Happy May Day to you all and have a great (Bank Holiday in the UK, if you're lucky enough!) weekend, however you're spending it.
