Tuesday.

Went for a walk this afternoon (the temperature being 63 degrees), up over the area of heath(?)land at the back of us. The gorse was in bright bloom. Does anyone know the old saying "When the gorse is not in bloom............." I wonder?



There were daffs in full bloom everywhere, so I took this snap of forsythia and wallflowers to make a change.



Oh well, back to the daffs, but aren't they a picture ? No wonder Wordsworth got all het up over them.

"When the gorse is not in bloom............." something about osculation having a diminished popularity I believe,Mike? Thank goodness it flowers so lastingly.

I think the full saying is "When the gorse is not in bloom, then kissing's not in fashion". The point being that gorse (of one variety or another) is perpetually in flower.
