I'm not complaining though : )<br /><br />Dianne - lovely to see you back. Oh, DO come and visit Britain. You will ADORE it, and I am certain Cornwall will capture your heart (along with everywhere else). Make it summer that you visit - arriving in very late Spring (May) and remembering that the further North you go, the longer the seasons take to arrive. So start in the south and work your way round : )Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-58952652532430938712014-06-14T11:50:30.271-07:002014-06-14T11:50:30.271-07:00You're right - it is absolutely stunning! Wha...You're right - it is absolutely stunning! What amazing scenery you live surrounded by. I've had a long break from blogging but am happy to be back and catching up on favorite blogs! Will look forward to reading about what's been happening in your world. I have just finished all six series of Doc Martin and have now added Cornwall to my bucket list along with Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the rest of England. I'd better hurry before I get any older. Hope all is well!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Dianne<br />www.sweetjourneyhome.comSouthernHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570700924252634215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-47957207412096396232014-06-14T04:16:59.076-07:002014-06-14T04:16:59.076-07:00The new jacket is the most beautiful of colours :)...The new jacket is the most beautiful of colours :) Another lovely walk and such wonderful scenery.

If no-one minds, I will use that in future. Some of the photos deserve to be BIG. I think the Laburnum probably came on slowly, and then a couple of warm days just makes it go BOOM!<br /><br /><br />Pat - saw some more on our day out today, but not as stunning as the ones on Llanllwni.<br /><br />thelma - I shall be safe wearing that jacket - as long as I don't fall in a patch of foxgloves, where I could remain undiscovered for days!<br /><br />parsnip - glad you enjoyed. I LOVE my new jacket.<br /><br />Sharon - sorry to have put Laburnums in your dreams!<br /><br />DW and Terra - who would want a dull coloured jacket after seeing that one?<br /><br />Kath - ah, the Welsh weather. Yes it can be a pain at times, but on a GOOD day (like today) it is amazing.

I do wish you'd use the 'extra large' setting for your photos.....it makes such a difference. I've been noticing Laburnum much more this year. Do you think it's flowering particularly profusely or something? Last summer was pretty awful for everything after that freezing early spring. Love your jacket and it is definitely Foxglove! I bet that's not what the makers called it though....do tell. xxEm Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-46204357869368151032014-06-11T16:42:24.360-07:002014-06-11T16:42:24.360-07:00What beautiful walk and flowers.
