The Secret Garden, April

[puddleshark]

Weird weather. April is supposed to be changeable. All the weather - rain, hail, sunshine & rainbows - in the space of an hour. We're not supposed to have a high pressure system stuck overhead, no rain in prospect for the next week. And we're not supposed to have gale force winds blowing from the east. Proper gales are supposed to come in from the south-west, off the Atlantic, accompanied by lashing rain.

I thought it would be sheltered behind the high brick walls of the Secret Garden, but it wasn't - the flowers were all bobbing about madly, which made macro photography something of a challenge.

Things blowing in the wind:






The tree fern by the entrance has taken off its nightdress winter wrapping.
