Where it's been too boggy to cut the grass, the dandelions have been thriving. These are generally considered weeds - but close-up they're beautiful, too.

Setting up home in a new country is going to be challenging. A bit like trying to cook a meal in someone else's kitchen. Maybe. This is a record of my experiences as I pack up my old life in England and start a new one in Ontario, Canada, with the aim of becoming more self-sufficient.

Oh, those poppies are going to be such a gorgeous display - they are lovely even now. I agree that dandelions are pretty, even if they are considered weeds :)
Love the photo of the poppies - it makes photos of the flowers look so conventional!
