Cherry blossom season

Cherry blossom treeThis afternoon was really pleasant out. An oh-so-slight nip in the air but brilliantly sunny.

To celebrate the weather, and the fact that I got out of my training course and was on my way home at a sprightly 16h15, I decided to get off at Lancaster Gate (3 stops early) and walk the rest of the way home.

It’s a lovely route, and I took careful notice as I went of all the cherry blossoms that are just getting started. It was just the odd few over the weekend, but now it’s coming along in leaps and bounds. Very cool. For me, cherry blossom trees are what make the start of spring so special.

According to my trusty pedometer it was 39 minutes of vigorous walking to get home which I felt quite good about. However I’m paying for it in discomfort now as the slight burning sensation near my big toe did turn out to be a blister forming. So much for my what I thought were my comfy work shoes!
