As it was very briefly sunny this morning, and not due to remain so for any length of time, we all quickly got ourselves together and headed out to a local park (Cannizaro Park, Wimbledon) for a stroll in the sun. Even those of us who would normally sleep for a large part of the morning decided to take advantage of the sun while it lasted - which was a fairly short time, as it happened.
You can see a little sun here in this photo, though not a lot.
There were some crocuses out, and a very few daffodils, but you can tell it's been a colder than normal spring, as usually by this time of year, there would be swathes of daffodils, and they were pretty thin on the ground (lots of stems, but not many blooming). This was one of the few which was open all the way.
The forsythia was just beginning to bloom, but on the whole, the garden still looked quite wintery,
with lots of seed heads and old growth. I quite like that look, but I'm more fond of it in January than in the end of March...
Still, it was nice to get out and have a stroll, and in some cases, climb a few trees
or try on Olivia's sunglasses... (I reckon he should use this as his Facebook profile picture; what do you think?)
