more flowers

Here are photos of a type of gorse and some
rhododendrons that are out in bloom at the moment.
It's rhododendron and azalea time in the UK -
most of the large woodland parks and stately
homes have masses of them. If the weather's good
in Leeds this weekend, we'll head for Temple
Newsam Park for the flower display and a good
walk round.
Oh dear, I've just checked the weather forecast
for the weekend and it's going to be wet. Perhaps
we'll go to the cinema or to the shops/cafes in
Leeds. In the city centre we usually make a
beeline for the Pasta Romagna - excellent home-made
pasta and pizza, good coffee (though not quite
as good as Betty's) and opera-style singing
from the owner. You can imagine yourself in Italy
there.....which reminds me to mention a brilliant
Italian cafe in the middle of Covent Garden in
London ... always very popular, and a nice place
to sit down and relax.
