Spring has Sprung

It has been a very mixed week weatherwise. A heavy snowfall on the Pennines on Wednesday.
Almost a complete whiteout

Snow on Cross Fell from the previous weeks snowfall.

This was followed by a warm sunny day on Thursday ideal for gardening. I have started to clear my plots ready for the new growth.
 The ground always looks bare until the plants start to grow

The daffodils are still looking very festive.
I love the golden centres

I did these flower arrangements for the church at Easter.
The colours are appropriate to the Easter season
Lilies in abundance

The primulas are beginning to open their drumstick heads.
Dainty individual flowerheads

On a visit to Northampton went to the Shoe museum.
Did you wear any of these? 

Paper mache shoes made by children.
Such imagination

This animation of a cobbler was very amusing.
Tap, tap, tap, goes the hammer

It is the time of year when there are dramatic skies.

Bleak and beautiful

It appears that Elvis is living in New Mills.
"I'm all shook up"

He even has his own car parking space reserved.
Cadillacs only
