Just what I needed as the freezing rain lashes down here in Ireland and I know many of you in Scotland and the US are blanketed in snow…read and absorb the warmth from these photographs of Almond Blossom in the Algarve with Jo Bradley.
As promised, almond blossom in the Algarve this week. This is a variation on a walk we’ve done previously, this time starting in the small seaside town of Fuseta. It’s just a few stops west of Tavira by train. Wave your passport at the conductor and you’ll get half fare if you’re a pensioner. Well, there have to be some advantages to being over the hill!

I stand and stare! Blossom is opening up in trees all along the roadside, but this is the first time I’ve seen the flowers out in such force.

We have a tree in front of our house–can’t remember what type but it blooms in spring with the most gorgeous flowers. Lots of people stop to stare. I do to!

I always like to have a cherry tree in the garden and I love it… even though the wind takes the blossom far too quickly. xxx
