I was away for the weekend in Belfast and returned last night.

Making coffee and doing my early morning stroll of the gardens, coffee in one hand and camera in the other, it was a revelation…everything has grown and spread since Friday!

No wonder, as a mix of rain and warmth has created the perfect conditions for plants.

It’s always a pleasure to walk out on a May morning.

The days continue to stretch before us and the promise of Summer holds sway.
