I'm so glad we ventured out this afternoon and I'm thankful that we went for a walk before hitting the café for tea and cake (lemon and ginger, for the record) because before long there were torrential showers. Spring continues to be glorious this year in the UK and my current plant crush is rhododendrons - pale or rubescent, j'adore. The magnificent rhododendron bushes at the Tara Kadampa Buddhist Meditation Centre, Etwall, Derby provided us with perfect shelter. Yesterday we bought our first plants for our new garden from a plant sale at a local church. Hellebores - tick, hosta - tick, ferns - tick and a flower labelled 'purple, tall' - tick. Most of the plants were a pound each and after this weekend's sunshine and showers they are happily settling into their new garden. I've had a lovely time this weekend in my garden and admiring the plants at the Tara Centre. I hope you've had good weekends too xo
