Springtime in 3 towns


2 weeks ago I was in London and all of the tulips and blossom was out in the parks. It is hard to imagine at times as you sit gazing at the flowers in the warm sun, bees buzzing around you, that you are in a huge, bustling city.

The same can be said for Stockholm, where the city is overwhelmingly beautiful with tulips and spring bulbs at this time of the year.

The tulips are out in Simrishamn too and the town is just full of great big pots of them. Below are some comparison photos of the three towns.

I hope you enjoy them!

    Hello Amber!
    This reminded me of the Chelsea Flower Show in London... I went there last year but couldn't get tickets - Sold out!

    Thank you much for sharing these beauties! :-)***

    Amber, thanks so much for such a lovely tour! Yours pics are fabuluous. It is cold & miserable in the Hills now, the fire is blazing down stairs & MOTH has the Scotch bottle out(purely for medicinal purposes he reckons!)
