18 April 2016 19:59312969One of my favourites too, how are yours this year I've noticed that lots are coming up blind this year but those that aren't are looking the best I've seen in many a year.Arte et Marte - 18 April 2016 20:27312970Bit of a mixed bag Reg as this photo shows, only a very small patch from the house to the front wall so it gets very little sun. The best I have seen are out the front of the Town Council offices.

18 April 2016 20:51312973They look pretty good plenty more still to open, hope the cold they forecast for the weekend doesn't do any harm.Arte et Marte - 19 April 2016 07:30312981Very nice pictures above there Howard...you obviously have the fingers green. Very colourful and sumptuously lush. I wouldn't have such skills myself but while out and about last week I came across the display below at St Mary's Churchyard. Cast a cold eye .. etc etc..
Somebody else with the delicate skills obviously looks after the churchyard there...
Yes indeed the humble daffodil.email: dover7@msn.com - 19 April 2016 11:16312998My Bluebells and Whitebells

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 22 April 2016 10:52313146Saw a great display yesterday in the planters at the bottom of the Old High St in Folkestone, primroses and every colour of tulip imaginable.
- 22 April 2016 14:04313154There are two nice displays at Salem church and the Council tip to brighten anyone day.
- 26 April 2016 07:57313221Return to the Churchyard.
Following on from Howards pix of St Marys Churchyard, here we have another few showing the current dazzling situation there. I'm not sure if this tree is a cherry blossom or a magnolia blossom or even 'blossom dearie'.... but the churchyard looks really good at the moment. Was surprised to find that all the daffodils have completely gone since I took the previous shot..ahhh tempus fugit, time waits for no man, the paths of glory etc etc
Look at that busy busy bumble beee already.
Very nice pictures above from all. Good to see,email: dover7@msn.com - Brian Dixon
