Oohhh Sunday was a lovely day. Sunny & dare I say it, a little warm too!
Had Spring arrived at last I wondered?
We decided to head up North & visit Durham for the day. We hadn't been since we were teenagers & thought a visit was well over due. Durham is full of wonderful buildings, the Cathedral & Castle obviously among them but it is one of those pretty towns like Bath & York that are just full to the brim of pretty cottages, houses & other buildings.
I'm not sure we could have choosen a more perfect day though, it was beautiful.
The students were making us feel old & lazy though I'm afraid, there were so many of them about full of life & energy.
They were all off to play Rugby, (the ones we passed were girls too!) they were running by the river, biking by the river & rowing on the river, playing football & we even saw some off to play Lecrosse! But it was a perfect day for being outside, so we will allow them to make us feel old ~ even though it doesn't seem 2 minutes since we were both at Uni!
My first glimpse of crocus. Lovely. When did they arrive?
I haven't really been out much this last week as we have both been soooooo busy with work & so I am guessing it was this past week as I saw lots of them this morning on my travels.
On Saturday I even saw some lambs as we headed throught the Dales, I was really quite shocked as I thought it was too early for them but I know it isn't, it was just that high in the Dales there is still snow so it just seemed a little odd!
Ooooooohhh but lambs! Yay! No photos I'm afraid as we were in the car when I spotted a field full of them.
Anyhoo, today seems equally as sunny & warm, so screwed up face with eyes closed tight & wishes at the ready I am hoping it has finally arrived!
Glorious piccies. Glad you had a lovely day :) x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day you had! The weather is much brighter here, but very cold!! I always look forward to the spring flowers but last year, I stupidly didn't plant any bulbs!!! Looks like I'll be off to the garden centre!!
