In love with lilac... ... and bluey-purple... and violet... and anything in between! For a brief, but oh so sweet moment today, the sun touched the souls of this shivering nation. Perhaps that is a generalisation taken too far. All I can really be sure of is that I was shivering in the icy wind and my light-yearning soul greeted the rays with open arms. So I did the obvious thing... ... stuck my tongue out to the polar gusts and went to the garden centre in search of spring flowers... Intended to later be planted in welcoming pots or baskets outside our front door, these pretty petals were invited to leave their polystyrene nests and come to play for a moment. Some tissue paper wanted to join in the game, and before I knew it... ... all sorts of spring-related paraphernalia had joined in the fun! If the winds were still icy? Well, I wouldn't know... as far as my colour- and floral-fuelled senses were concerned, the world had just become a little bit warmer... Wherever you are and whatever the climate, I wish you a warm and colourful weekend!
