LadyDeliah Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 After all the miserable and depressing threads on here recently, I just wanted to remind everyone what lovely weather we have had this spring and how nice it is to have all the trees and flowers looking so lovely in the area.I scattered some wild flower seeds last year in my garden and have some lovely and unusual flowers blooming now, so everytime I look out of my kitchen window, I'm full of the joys of spring Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17273-the-joys-of-spring/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmora Man Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 You're right. I wandered Peckham Rye Park yesterday morning, gathering elderflowers and now my first ever batch of elderflower cordial is marinating quietly - awaiting decanting tomorrow. Smelling the heady honey scent of the elderflowers on an early spring morning was a good way to start the weekend.

LadyDeliah Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Mmm, that sounds nice. I love how green this area is. I took my dog to Dulwich woods the other day for the first time in ages and it was alive with the chirupping of birds. It really lifts the spirits.

Frankito Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 And the rhododendrons (dodgy spelling alert?) of Dulwich Park are out in full dashing bloom, always a signal that summer is on it's merry way.

katie1997 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Quote Hear, hear!! Love the singing of the birds in the garden, its beautiful. I am also finding it difficult to walk past all the gorgeous gardens in my street without stopping to admire the roses.

LadyDeliah Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 When I cycle to and from work, I love smelling all the flowers in bloom in Dulwich. There are some lovely gardens around here.My own garden has fruit bushes that are heavy with young raspberries, black & red currants, gooseberries and grapes. It's exciting to see how many are growing. Looks like there will be a bumper crop this year.

Guest Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I often go for walk just before bed and smell all the flowers hanging over other people's garden fences. There are some wonderful roses out at the moment; also peonies, though to me they smell just like Immac.
