Every time I visit Godolphin this carpet of primroses growing between the cobbles by the wall just seems to get better and better.....
they are such pretty, simple flowers; one of my favourites.
Following the farm track away from the garden, I took a new path which led upward beside an old granite wall.....
at the top, stepping stones set into the wall. I had not seen this form of stile before moving to this area.
Up on Godolphin Hill the heathland is punctuated by stunted trees sculpted by the wind.
And then the most unexpected thing: Anemones growing amongst the brambles and dry bracken fronds!
Such a delicate flower; it just seemed so incongruous to find them growing in such harsh surroundings, but they were everywhere; little clumps of them like drifts of snow....
Many trees are yet to show a tip of green, but this oak tree was burgeoning with limey yellow leaves unfurling from tightly packed buds
the bluebells are emerging too,
and fern fronds....
Another week or two and the bluebell woods will be at their best. If you're in the area, there is a Food and Craft Fair on at Godolphin on Sunday 6th and Monday 7th May.
Happy Spring everyone! x
