Spring Blooms

On Friday, Isabel and family members enjoyed their annual outing to the Regina Floral Conservatory. The Conservatory is a beautiful tropical garden with seasonal displays.

Rose, one of the volunteers set up a lovely tea and welcomed us once again as she has for three years. The tulips and daffs are well past, but huge hydrangeas in purples and pinks, and roses and gerber daisies in every colour welcomed us at every turn.

This is the first year that Rufus, Mum's wheelchair, has not accompanied her. Mum can now transfer quite easily from her portable chair to a car so we loaded up her folding portable wheelchair in the trunk ("boot" to our UK friends and family) and off we went. Mum had a front seat view across Regina.

We highly recommend a visit to the Conservatory and are grateful to the many volunteers who create this place of beauty.
