Spring is busting out all over Olney

Spring at the Bridge over the Ouse at Olney

Daffodils are in full bloom marking, I understand from experienced retailer, Kim Thonger, proprieter of art gallery, ICETWICE, the time when women go shopping!

Today, I walked down to the Bridge over the Ouse where the King’s men and Cromwell‘s Army had one of the many battles you find marked across the rivers of southern England.

On the side of the bridge, growing out of an island or the water itself (I didn’ t think to check) was a bush just coming into bloom.  There were some buds, that looked like buds, and some of what I can only call  fluffy things!

Oddly, as I walked home, I noticed the florist had little acacia bushs in pots complete with their little fluffy yellow balls.

These white fluffy balls, I have never seen before.  Does anyone know what they are?
