London in Springtime...

Last week I took a trip to London to meet a friend. The skies were grey but Regents Park was in early Spring colours...

Lovely to see such a splash of colour and delightful to have a few hours with a much missed friend. 

And somewhat sobering that whilst I was wandering lazily under a huge umbrella, not so far away events were unfolding in Westminster that gave the world another shake.

There is something very reassuring about the resilience and reliability of nature as it rolls through the seasons - whatever chaos is happening elsewhere - the tress blossom, the bulbs and spring flowers shout brassily and the first grass mowings of the season fill the air with that distinctive scent...

I am reminded to be thankful for small things and to try to appreciate every day.
