ALDRIDGE IN BLOOM

It is great when a community pulls together and everyone does their bit towards the end result. Aislinn goes perfectly with the very pretty flowers on display and I think she enjoyed being a major part of this blog :-)

No surprise that you found a cafe on your travels!!!

Lol Chris, ya got me:-))

Flowers make such a difference to urban landscapes don't they? It looks as though you have a little model in the making there!

Wildrose is right it is great when the community pull to together. This year my local community started a gardening community club with some land we got from the local council, it was a huge success. I will do a blog on it as soon as I can drag myself from it. Sorry B/A for waffling on about my new hobby. I love your Blog, you photos looks fantastic Aldridge looks so tidy with all the flowers And young Aislinn looks lovely

Thanks Steragram, it certainly lifts the heart to see flowers, the glorious sunshine helped too:-))

Hi John, I've been looking out for your blog about the community gardening club, I really look forward to seeing it. Aislinn is a lovely girl .... and a poser lol:-))

How lovely, i think a lot of not-gardening type people dont notice the lovely hanging baskets that are on display in most high streets, we have lovely big flower displays in towns near where I live and they really are beautiful and I think the people who grow them never get a word of thanks! and I think you have a budding future model in Rebecca, what a cute little girl but with a cheeky face! :-)

Thanks Summer, I think the flowers make people happier even if they don't notice them particularly, they certainly brighten the place up and, hopefully, give people a pride in their community albeit urban. Rebecca daughter) would love to think she had a model future ahead of her, but it's her daughter Aislinn my (grandaughter) who's the little poser lol. Are your local towns competing in Britain In Bloom? Have you got any pics? :-))

oh sorry i thought it was Rebecca in the photos!! its Aislinn, well shes the budding model!! I didnt know about any competitions for local towns, im going into Uttoxeter tomorrow so i shall (if I remember) take some photos for you. All the little towns around by me have so many lovely flowers on display, i even went to Birmingham on Tues and they have some very very magnificent displays, I wish i'd took my camera now for you!!

I look forward to seeing the Summer:-)
