Dog walk etcetera

Had a couple of nice dog walks lately, the weather has taken a nice turn ad the rain has stopped.
Wednesday I went to a walk at Stanpit, which is near the marshes, and a Nature reserve where you can watch the birds nesting, we get quiet a few summer visitors here,, You aren't allowed to let dogs off lead, and rightly so, so I keep to the other side where they can roam, there are several places Zak hasn't yet visited and this was one. I'd been shopping for gravel to finish off the little patch and this walk is on the way back. Went to art class in the afternoon.
Thursday I collected Barney and we all four [three dogs and me] went to the Rugby ground for a walk, it's not as boring as it sounds it is a nice place with an area at the bottom that is left to grow quite wild, The air was full of the scent of May blossom, it's quite heady when there's so much of it, also lots of Cow Parsley around. The bluebells and wild garlic is about over, but still buttercups aplenty.
I fell in the garden yesterday i tripped over a piece of wood by the little foot high fencing, I landed quite heavily on my side and it's painful, I phoned the surgery to make an enquiry about it and she advised a doc appointment, so that's tomorrow morning taken care of, Who wants to get old eh!
that's it for now folks, if its sunny enjoy it, if it rains I hope you need it.

Simple Beauty

Just a short blog.
Whilst out walking the dogs to-day I was compelled to stop and marvel at the carpet of Buttercups that seemed to appear overnight.
It is a sight to gladden the heart and eye and always reminds me of a walk I had some years ago with Jet and Tango along the banks of the River Stour I took a photo of them in a field of Buttercups, I made a point of going back to the River every May when they were in full bloom . When Jet died I still carried on going with Tango on his own, but I have not been since he left me., it’s one of the places I just can’t visit., How I wish I could turn back time and revisit that field.
However, to-day I picked a small bunch of Buttercups, then saw some Queen Anne Lace and added that, one spray of Charlock as there was only one clump, Oxalis to give a splash of pink , and some bluebells from the garden when I got home.
I did not try to display them in any way artistically, as I felt their colours gave them their own beauty.
Beautiful and desirable though some exotic orchids and flowers from far off lands may be, nothing in my mind can match the beauty and sheer simplicity of these wild flowers.
