Cherry Blossom

Such a beautiful week here

A week full of blossom buds bursting open

sweet fragrance on the breeze

Reminding me of a favourite film........................

Were you a fan too? I devoured the book when it came out, and the film was so sumptuous.

The cherry blossom or Sakura is so significant in Japanese culture, how wonderful to have cherry blossom festivals to celebrate as they have been for centuries.

Here Down the lane I thought I would enjoy my very own cherry blossom festival, hope you can join me....

Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now

Is hung with bloom along the bough,

And stands about the woodland ride

Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now of my threescore years and ten,

Twenty will not come again,

And take from seventy springs a score,

It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom

Fifty springs are little room,

About the woodlands I will go

To see the cherry hung with snow.

Have you ever seen a cherry blossom kit kat?

How I love the Japanese! First Hello Kitty and now this

Genius!

There are some gorgeous books celebrating cherry blossom, you can find this here

When you throw in lanterns with blossom I am in a state of utter joy!

I will leave you this wonderful scene

Have a brilliant weekend and thank you so much for joining me

Love Sarah
