Cool wet April in London this year. Daffodil flowers have gone, they didn't last long in the warm weather in March. Their foliage is starting to wilt now. But the tulips did well and lasted a while. And I got to sunbathe in the park the earliest ever!
My lillies are really getting going now, their tips showed through the soil in March and now they're growing fast though it'll be a while before they flower.
The lime trees in the street are just budding their leaves. They're at my favourite stage now, where a sprinkling of emerald-like jewels are scattered along their branches and twigs, glistening with raindrops in the streetlights at night. Soon they'll fill out and form a screen on the street below and dapple the sunlight that may stream through my windows if we have a decent summer this year.
