Sunday 12 April - after attending an Easter service at St. Paul's (the church which our flat overlooks) Ian and I decided to stretch our legs. It was a lovely spring day with blue skies and we strolled up to the Clifton Downs and over to Stoke Bishop to visit the Bristol Botanical garden. Surprisingly there was not much in bloom but the garden were obviously well kept and will no doubt be spectacular in the summer. There was an amazing patch of lawn full of blue and white flowers and the glass houses were both steamy and lush. It was a nice way to enjoy the sunshine and relax before our easter dinner.
