A Spring excursion


The sun was streaming in the windows this morning, promoting another delightful Spring day. Signs of the season are everywhere. Outside our bedroom window birds are building a nest. I've never had a bird build a nest in front of me - certainly not in the heart of the city. It's wonderful to watch their new home taking shape.


We decided to show Murray and Rhonda a few of Spring's delights with a brief walk to Primrose Hill. The view over London was rather hazy today. On a spur of the moment we headed over to The Regents Park for a glimpse of the daffodils. We were in luck with splashes of yellow everywhere.



In Queen Anne's Garden the tulips were out in force creating a riot of spring colour. The roses were in leaf and the feilds were smothered in white daisies. Down at the boating lake herons were tending to their giant nests. Close by ducks were pairing up and building nests. We finished our Spring jaunt at Baker Street tube station, stopping briefly to admire the life size statue of Sherlock Holmes.
