The first signs of spring

Future Admin April 24, 2013

How lovely has it been to see a bit of sunshine hit the old streets of Britain this week? If you left the house without a jacket, spotted the first blossoms on a tree or hung your washing on the line of the first time this year, then join us in celebrating the much anticipated arrival of spring, we've missed you. Conscious of the fickle nature of the weather in Britain we asked our friends on Twitter and Facebook to snap a sign of Spring and share it with us, here are some of our favourites...

Pictures: Wakehurst Place, The National Trust Emma-Louise Newlyn, sunshine in the allotment Madeline Norris, spring flowers from Oak & Rope, bottom right - chicks in the sunshine from Ginger & Mora

Pictures: top - crocuses in Montreal from Lori Perkins, bottom left - blossoms on Ithaca Commons Wendy Houseworth, breakfast in a treehouse Duck Pond Markets.

Thank you to everyone who shared their pictures of Spring with us online, to check out the rest or send us your own join us on Twitter or Facebook.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
