Hello! As you know, I’ve been on holiday in Cyprus for the last week. Springtime in Cyprus is pretty beaut, with a variety of trees in bloom (or loaded with slowly ripening fruit). I took lots of pictures, and these are my 5 favourites.
1. A giant, sticky pomelo blossom.
2. This is a prickly pear cactus. Have you ever eaten a prickly pear? The fruit inside is a vivid orange or pink, and is juicy, seed-studded and mildly sweet. They taste so good straight out of the fridge.
3. My grandparents were fruit farmers, and my parents are very good at identifying fruit trees. Having said that, my dad wasn’t sure if this was a peach or an apple blossom. Any ideas?
4. These furry green beasts house fresh little almonds. Yes. Almonds.
5. Perfect purple lemon blossoms. This is my favourite smell in the world.

The roses on my street are blooming, so I’ve got flowers on the brain.

2. Pastel petals (for the bees, mainly).
3. Painted petals (I wish this was my window).
4. A skirtful of petals + a fistful of petals
5. These are my lips seen through a teleidoscope.

April in London has been incredible this year. The month ends today, and the forecast for this weekend is rain, rain, rain. I can’t bear it. I’m going to bury my head in these photos, instead.

3. Lawn loungers.
4. I’m a lawn-lounger, too.

3. Grape Hyacinths in someone’s front garden.

Apart from the human body, is there any natural form that is revered as much as flowers? We take their shapes and colours and scrawl them onto ourselves and our clothes and our homes, and we bottle their scents and spray them onto our necks. Oh, spring, won’t you hurry up? Fabric flowers are good, but I’m craving the real thing.
1. A fuchsia orchid from Accessorize. Good for wall and self adornment.
2. Some 2-Dimensional blooms at the Haymarket Hotel, London.
3. The bag I’d take on a summer stroll in the meadows. (SIGH.)
4. Vintage styling involving cabbage-sized silk roses.
5. And lastly, my beloved fairy lights from Monsoon.
