Having been gone from the UK for a couple of decades, being back is reminding me of so many things that I guess I didn’t pay much attention to when I was here before. Now I am back, I notice things. One such thing is horse chestnut trees in the spring. More famous for the conkers they produce in the autumn, in the spring they flower quite dramatically. I’m not sure what the proper term is but I think they look like candles mounted across the tree. Very pretty looking blooms. How quickly will I get blasé about them again?
