私が日本に行く前は本当に寒かったんですが、
直前になって、春というか、むしろ通り越して一気に夏日がやってきました。
家の近くなリッチモンドにお散歩へ。
It was still really cold before I went to Japan (mid of April),
however, it suddenly became warm, rather hot like summer just before I left for Japan.
We went to Richmond for a walk.
お散歩コースはいつもテムズ川からピーターシャムまで歩くのですが、この日の満潮は、ほとんど洪水。
岸ぎりぎりまで水が上がってきてました。こんなの初めて!
Our walking course in Richmond is starting from River Thames to Petersham.
But the high tide of the day was so high and it was almost flood!
I had never seen that.
とにかく本当に気持ちのいい日で、川辺にはたくさんの人!
It was really beautiful day and there were a lot of people by the river!
あまりに水位が高かったので、もしかしてピーターシャムへ行くフットパス(小道)も水浸しかな…と思ったけど、
ちゃんと洪水用ドライルートが確保&案内済み! さすが。
I wondered the footpath might have been wet because of the high tide.
However, there was a dry route during flood and it was guided already!
ピーターシャムに着いたら春のお花を愛でて。
カフェはありえないくらい並んでたのでショップを散策しておしまい。
We checked spring flowers at Petersham Nurseries.
There was a looong queue for cafe, so we didn't have tea there.
大好きなショップ、いつもインスピレーションをくれます。
My favourite shop, it always gives me inspirations.
さあ、これからもう春の始まりかな~と思ったら、このあとまた冬に逆戻り…
(まさかあれで今年の夏終わりじゃないだろうな、と思いつつ(これが冗談にならない)
私が戻ってきたときにまた夏日がやってきました。
私が日本に行く前は葉もまばらだったバラたちにいっぱい蕾ができてたし、
もうだめかと思っていた枯れ木のアナベルにも(笑)葉っぱがいっぱい出てきて、すっかり春です!
ただし、見た目と違ってまだまだ肌寒いロンドン…
コートなしで出歩けるのはいつになることやら。
I thought it's completely spring! However, it went back winter after that....
(I really thought our summer 2018 had finished! )
Gladly, spring came back when I came back to London.
My roses didn't have many leaves before I went to Japan, but it has lots of buds when I came back.
My annabelle looked almost dead (lol), but it has lots of leaves when I came back.
Spring officially has come in London!
However, it is still cold..... I hope I put my coats away very soon....
