Well that was fun!!! 👏 Thanks Tatton & @mrs_speneller . ❤️ Current favourite work from home treat - having a coffee here, before work, outside amongst the flowers in the sunshine. 💛☀️😎 It's that time of year, the water lilies have flowered!🌺🙌 Dad started this plant 7 years ago (at a guess from his Instagram post 📸➡️) and he was always thrilled to see and share the sudden appearance of 1 or 2 flowers each year. 💛 A pre final warm up! 🚲Streets filled with bunting and flags. 🎉🎊The smell of BBQs, horns beeping, a bit of rain, football shirts all over the place! Absolutely joyous!!!🥰🙌♥️ 🌼 An afternoon wandering the recently revamped & reopened @rhsbridgewater.🚶🏼‍♀️🌳🌻We didn't quite manage the 150acres 😂, but I don't think this will be my last visit.🙌 What a beautiful location🤩, gorgeous planting, meandering paths, streams, a lake, ponds and the best walled gardens (v hot today🔥). Sooo much to see and on a sunny day too☀️, fantastic. ⭐TREAT YOURSELF ⭐ Two years. Total bullshit. 💔 I don't think there's any need to be more eloquent than that! A day trip! 😮😍 An old hall (built 1642🥺😍), flowers on flowers on flowers, a bed of ALLIUMS (hi dad 💜), a few Tour De Yorkshire villages, rolling hills, many mills... done. Fun. From day to night, a fab to pimms...well Austin's, Aldis version. Evening cycle high up into the hills across from Holcombe Moor and Scout Moor, above Birtle, so a change to the usual routes.🚲🚲🚲 YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 ☀️ b a n k h o l i d a y f u n ☀️ First time cycling without my fleece, snood/gloves/rain coat etc. since last summer. ROTI ROTI ROTI! 🙌❤️What's the food I miss most from life in Malaysia???🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 Ooooooh might just be a roti canai, from a 24/7 mamak on a random street corner, wobbly chair, metal tray, noisy crowd, couple of ringgit... perfection! 😍 Constant rain here in the UK's North West 🌧️😩 SO in my mind I am here ➡️🎥 here and ➡️🎥 here. Not much beats a sunset cycle up here. 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️ ☀️ M O R N I N G ☀️ A break in rain, meant my backpack of coffee, ☕mum's homemade sausage rolls 🌭& a KitKat 🍫spent the afternoon wandering up a hill 🌄and then lounging around on it. 🚶‍♀️ THE SEA! THE SEA! THE SEAAAAAA! 🙌👏🌈❤️😍📸➡️ The struggle is real for spring flowers at the mo. Thunder, lightning, hail, rain, wind, 5 minutes of glorious sunshine and then repeat! ☔⛈️🌨️🌦️☀️ A mixed bag of running weather this week, lots of rain but also random bursts of sun!☀️⛅🌦️🌧️⛈️ Still haven't caught a rainbow though. 🌈 Now this really was a 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ chef's meal in the comfort (and warmth!) of our own home. Incredible @tommybanks & @madeinoldstead! A bank holiday before alllllllllllllllll the rain 🌧️☔🌂 (the plants are happy). Delighted that the forget-me-nots are back, taking over the veg patch. Tottington's rhododendron taking me back to Nepal. 😍 Absolutely beautiful! Also love the house behind. 💕 How many flowers on one stem?!🌸🌺🌼 Every little branch of Dad's❤️ plum tree is squashed full of blossoms this year. Gorgeous and exciting!! Does this mean there may be lots of juicy plums on the horizon?? 🤞🤞🤞 Who knows. Let's hope the frosty nights❄️ have finally ended, so the tree can be full of them soon. 🌳 s u n s e t c y c l e + l a m b s 🐑
