Beautiful Heathers


With the flowers on the Heathers emerging, the colours range from
warm deep pinks to beautiful Mauve. . . .

At Kew

Some favourites following a visit to Kew Gardens in London.



The fern trees were very impressive & they'd been established in the hothouses for a considerable amount of years.
One was so old, that it even had a resting rock as it was leaning so much.



A beautiful place which I hope to visit again before this year is over.

Ducks & Geese at Slimbridge

One favourite place to visit is Slimbridge Wetland Centre, Gloucester where there is numerous ducks, geese & swans, even flamingo's, besides other wildlife.
The Wetland centre is dedicated to wildlife & conservation.
Flamingo's

The Mute Swan

The Greylag Goose

I was inspired to produce these Geese cross stitch pictures, but still waiting to fine suitable photo frames.

The Teal

With the thought of ducks, I couldn't resist making this cross stitch picture just a few years ago, very characteristic at Easter.

Coastal Therapy



The sun shining at last, so some time spent at the seaside resort of Beer, Devon. . . .



Everyone else wanting to sample the same though. . . . .




A lovely location, but will come again in the Autumn,
when it's slightly more tranquil.
