It's the second week of the Easter holidays here and today the weather has been absolutely lovely. Despite a chilly breeze there was bright, warm sunshine, and I engaged in one of my favourite spring activities of recent years - tulip-picking. I've posted about it before here and here. Our local farm shop has a PYO field and I think we're a bit earlier this year as there weren't quite as many in bloom yet as usual, but they were still absolutely glorious.
See you soon x

How I would love to pick my own tulips, but sadly there's nothing similar around here. We do go fruit picking in the summer though. Enjoy your flowers. xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame - I wondered if more places would be doing it by now, but PYO fruit is something to look forward to.

What a wonderful idea. I've heard of PYO fruit but never tulips. Ours are just beginning to fade now. The very dry weather hasn't helped them this year. B x
ReplyDeleteOurs have lasted a long time this year, but we have been a long time without rain here too.

I have seen flower picking places but never one dedicated to tulips - love the idea!
ReplyDeleteI hope they catch on!

That sounds a wonderful idea and a great way to welcome spring! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteIt is and has become a yearly ritual for me now.

I tried to persuade our local pyo to branch out into tulips but they haven't sadly. It's such a fun idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity - I wonder why more places aren't doing it?
