Blossom’s Up; Spring has Sprung in Radipole Community Orchard.

Where better to immerse yourself for a few quiet minutes to contemplate the meaning of life than amongst a sea of blossom.

The Friends community orchard in Radipole Park is bursting with new life.

 

 

Joining me in my early morning contemplations were a whole host of insects.

I’m afraid to say correctly naming them is not my field of expertise, so I’ll simply refer to them as an assortment of very busy bumbly bees, who were visiting the flowers.

 

 

And not just tree blossom, all manner of insects were busy in amongst the wild flowers and grasses.

 

 

The newly planted pear tree even had tiny fruits forming,  portent of a good harvest hopefully.

 

 

So if you’re looking for somewhere to give you inspiration, that feeling of connecting to nature, I can certainly recommend spending a few moments amongst the blossom laden trees.

As Pop Larkin in the Darling Buds of May was fond of saying, ‘Perfick.’
