“Oh to be in England when spring is in the air”

Fields of lush greens mixed with iridescent patches of yellow flowering rapeseed.

Leafy green forests carpeted in scented blue bells and wild flowers, streets scattered with pink petals from the cherry blossoms and gardens splashed with the scarlet and pinks of the azaleas. Frosty mornings with sun not warm enough to ward off the chill, is our England in May.

We make the most of London catching up with our friends, where we stay, upending their routine with our whirlwind of cleaning and packing.
