Multicolor tulips, mostly red, growing in front of a solid bright white fence. Mulched bed in front.

Tulips against a white fence, a pretty sight on yesterday’s walk. #tinyjoys

Reading the #TinyJoys hashtag is always a joy in itself. So I'm reminded to include a country walk with family and this pinkish hawthorn I saw on it

A neatly mown lawn at Kenwood with a park bench in the mid ground to the left - looking down towards a pond with a back drop of trees, shades of green

A view from Parliament Hill - looking between the trees across the city of London with St Paul’s and the Shard etc in the hazy spring sun.

Having got as far as Kenwood, it was a beautiful day to enjoy a walk across the Heath via Parliament Hill view point (how many generations have stood there as London has changed over centuries!) before heading into Hampstead #hampsteadhealth #parliamenthill #viewpoint #london #tinyjoys

Another close up this time of the smaller pink petals on many individual flowers of a rhododendron

A close up of some of the rhododendron - pinks and purples

The rhododendron at Kenwood House - several beds of plants in flower: reds, pinks and oranges. Set against the backdrop of neatly mown lawns, mature trees and blue sky

Last week, I took myself off to Kenwood House because I’d been told that the rhododendron were amazing - absolutely popping with colour #kenwoodhouse #rhododendron #colour #tinyjoys

another cracker of a sunrise at Cahore this morning

#tinyjoys it’s really a big joy

Check out these tiny mushrooms 🥰 #fungifriends

Catkins! Is it nearly spring? 😊

A blurry, close up portrait of Fishtopher. He is a brown tabby cat with green eyes and a pink nose. His muzzle is very round and his whisker spots are very symmetrical.

A tiny brown spider on a Yellow Sticky Monkey Flower leaf.

A teeny tiny mushroom growing amongst some rocks. It has a white fluted top that looks like a parasol and a thin, tall light brown stem.

Small wonders for a Sunday. I love finding tiny things in the garden! #tinyjoys #spiders #fungi #mushroom #nature

Ludicrously smiling selfie of me in a pink raincoat posing with a newly planted, very bare apple tree.

Planted a tree. Her name is Juana the Gold (a jonogold apple). Named her, got attached, hope she lives. Il faut cultiver notre jardin etc. etc. #TinyJoys

3 decorative elephants drawn in blue ink on the paper wrapper of a bamboo toothpick.

Cute elephants on the toothpick cover! (Enlarge image to see the cutest front-facing one 🥰) #TinyJoys

The inside of St Mary’s church in Hendon taken after evensong. The lights have been turned off so it’s lit by the glow of candle light alone. You can see the outline of the pulpit and chairs, the medieval arches and the small windows above.

Taken after evensong last night. The glow of candles in the stillness and beauty of this ancient place where we add our praise & prayer to those which have echoed down the centuries. Our stories held within God’s story. This is precious. There is consolation in this #sacredspace #tinyjoys

A tabby cat on a garden path, near some yellow daffodils and purple crocuses.

#TinyJoys enjoying a spring-like day.

#TinyJoys It’s sunny and I have just heard the first ice-cream van of spring!

A gorgeous plate of avocado toast.

Three teddy bears made of pipe cleaners on a wooden desk: one orange, one white, one light brown. A hand with a silver ring holds a fourth, dark brown, bear.

Today’s literal #tinyjoys: pipe cleaner teddy bears are surprisingly easy to make.

Red kite flying over our garden for the first time. #tinyjoys

Amidst somber news, sights of #TinyJoys

Photo of a clump of daffodils on a bank beside a road in Cardiff. The flowers are bright yellow, the leaves are misty green

Photo of a single daffodil in the afternoon sun. The yellow flower glows, the green leaves are sharp

My first daffodils of the year #TinyJoys

I just planned meals for the next week and did grocery shopping for less than $100. Feeling productive and prepared for the week ahead. Tonight is Pork Chop Suey and I’m going to make my stroke survivor husband help me make it. Anything to help him engage and feel productive himself. #TinyJoys
