First Flowers..

A Memory Tree..

 Ian and I planted this little cherry tree in memory of our four much loved cats who are sadly no longer with us.

By The River..

...at Bishop Auckland.

This is the river Wear and the castle is the home of the Bishop of Durham.

It wasn't a sunny day

Here is a little collection of wildflowers growing on the river bank:

It's a very peaceful place.

Magnolia...

This tree lives in my front garden.

My Mum and Dad bought it for me when it was just a tiny sapling:

It's flowers are so beautiful.

Altogether perfect.
