Cyclamen Neapolitanum

Had a trip into Bangor this morning and managed to get a pair of floral trousers and a floral jacket. The garments are for use when we're travelling, they can be rolled up and chucked into the backpack!

Bumped into a number of friends, one of whom I've known since primary school.

The forecast had been for heavy rain all day, but we have been very lucky - sunny and warm all day. I even managed an hour of gardening in the very overgrown patch down by the road - a couple of robins were being helpful and eating all sorts of insects.

Today's blip is a cyclamen, which seems to be flowering very early this year. I think that our beautiful Rowan tree is dying, the leaves have died and the trunk has dark scars running down, such a shame :-(
