On our way South.....

All packed into a few bags , our journey began cold and wet in the Northumberland hills.

As we headed down the A1 we began to cross the climatic zones, which where marked by increasing numbers of  trees in leaf and flower.  By the time we reached  Watford the May blossom and cherry trees began to brighten the horizon of grey cloud .





Stopping for breaks I glimpsed the delightful stand of Candelabra Primulas in a fabulous garden just as the sun came out . There's an apt great name... still hunting for the right name . Hoping that some more will appear on the blog by the morning .

On reaching London tonight the temperature was wonderfully much increased and the first road name I noticed was 'Flower Mews' very apt and heartening for the beginning of  our quest tomorrow. See you at Hyde Park 10 am sharp!
