My inlaws said I should have a photo of myself on here, so there I am surrounded by bluebells. (I have made myself two years younger here, ha ha!)<br />I understand this has been the wettest April on record for the U.K., so you are lucky if you are having blue skies!<br />Take care!<br />KayKay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-10928774262456766712012-04-30T06:30:42.489-04:002012-04-30T06:30:42.489-04:00Dear Kay,

I can see bluebells and primroses in our woods all the time - they are very beautiful but Stone Mountain - now that really is special! Glorious day here. Blue skies, no wind and very mild. Here on the Isle of Lewis we are having the best weather in the whole of the UK at the moment. Just off to walk Briagha along the beach. <br /><br />Have a lovely day.
