Looking out my window

I had been a bit worried that the blossom would be blown away before I managed a pictureof it all out. Luckily today was a beautiful day, blue sky and no wind, so I was able to take loads of pictures - this was taken from my bedroom window!!!

How can you not want to get up and see this beauty? I took this picture about an hour after I'd got up, but I just wanted you to see what I see from my bed first thing in the morning. I don't expect this gorgeous sight to be for long, but just below the cherry blossom is a laburnham which will bloom later so I will have yellow rain from the window - however to the right of this view is my white lilac which should be in blossom in about a week - I'm so lucky to have this beauty surrounding my home.

You can see how much growth this hoya has done this year - I've had to wind it round and round to keep it in check. I noticed this morning, that there are lots of small signs of flowers to come - hopefully this year will see more flowers than ever. It's amazing to think that this plant is at least 30 years old - incredible.
