Adrian's Photoblog

Part of the spring ritual for me is to take a few bluebell photos, and this year I'm nearly a month ahead of last year. This photo was taken on 19th April, and my corresponding set from last year were taken on 14th May. OK last year was colder than recent winters have been ( I avoid using colder than average since it wasn't), but the warm and dry April have brought the spring flowers on at a real pace - it seems ages since the daffs died off.

We had a lovely 3 days staying in Sorrento, from where there is so much to do - far more than we could do justice to in our short stay. However, we had a wonderful day in Pompeii - which was so extensive and endlessly facinating. The temperature was perfect too, about 19C - it must be absolutely crippling in summer though as there is no shade and it's all stone.
Sorrento was somewhat spoilt by the constant queues of traffic trying to get through the place, but there's no doubting it's spectacular setting on the cliffs looking across to Vesuvius and the Isola d'Ischia.
