Lowndes Park, Chesham, March 2007 There is something about winter. A love and hate relationship as one might say. To me winter brought its own beauty. This year, the winter was not that bad at all. Some said it was the mildest. We thought it was over by February as the weather warmed a little. Little tree buds and winter flower started to came out. Then, Lo' behold, a surprise wintry showers coming in! T'was much good spell of snow across the country in early March. Well, the snow did not stop us to have some fun! Some folks and their young-lings take the opportunity to go bob sleighing on the park slope. Closer to home, we have our first SNOWMAN in the making! Lowndes Park, Chesham, April 2007
IT'S SPRING TIME! The air smells wonderfully. Easter came and was celebrated. For the very first time, Maija went for an Easter egg hunt. She trully enjoyed it and managed to have abundance of Easter eggs chocolates! Needless to say, she loved it. Everything comes to life again in spring. The magnolias in our garden have blossomed followed by the hyacinth, tulip, the daffs and even blue bells. The park is also dressed in its glory covered by all the blossoms. All the ducks, geese and other birds are nesting. It felt winter never touched down. We even experienced a 'mini-heatwave' from 9th to 20th April. We have been picnicking almost everyday at the park for lunch. Stuffed ourselves with ice creams and we're not the only one! Such glorious days.
