The cherry blossom’s out in Harper Avenue, always a joyful sign of spring.
I couldn’t resist crossing the road to enjoy the daffodils too.
When people are crossing, the traffic lights stop the cars to let pedestrians and cyclists through – just as it should be.
“The cherry blossom is superb
with daffodils beside the kerb.”

The pot of mini-daffodils on offer at the Supermarket this week was a temptation I couldn’t resist. My dislike of spring celebrations in autumn was not enough to deter me.
‘Easter’ daffodils
On Thursday they had just one open flower. Today there are a dozen beautiful blooms. More than enough to give an unseasonal taste of spring.
I noticed on the checkout screen they came up as ‘dressed daffodils’. Presumably this was because they came with a little nest of eggs,which we promptly exiled to the back garden.
Easter nest
I wonder, will any leftover pots be cheaper next week, minus nests, and selling as ‘undressed daffodils’?
“This lovely pot of daff’s can bring
an out-of-season taste of spring.”
