A new beginning

Welford Park today
Okay, I know. I am trying, but at some point there are so many photos that sifting through all of them becomes scary. So I am trying to start again.

Last year I missed out on the snowdrops at Welford Park and it felt weird. It had been my yearly Early Spring ritual and the start of the garden visiting season and I was determined to manage to go this year.

It felt like the first sunny weekend in ages and I don't think I ever saw the grounds this packed!

Hope you're up for a new beginning.

Much love,
Qaroline
