Gold Rush

Darwin Barberry

It was a beautiful sunny morning, so I thought I’d go for a little walk and see what I could find. Flashes of gold were everywhere! This Darwin Barberry was covered with the most amazing flowers…

Kerria Japonica

…as was this Kerria Japonica.

Primroses

The primroses outside the church were beautiful…

Peacock butterfly on dandelion

…and I found a peacock butterfly having a spot of lunch on these glowing dandelions.

Gorse

The gorse was lovely in all its fluffy spikiness…

Lesser Celandine

…while the Lesser Celandines shone out from under the trees.

Cowslips

Cowslips were nodding their heavy heads as I walked…

Fairysteps Moonshine

…but the most lovely golden things on my walk were the ones I took with me.

Fairysteps Moonshine

These are my Moonshine boots from Fairysteps. Hand made in the depths of Dartmoor by the lovely Ren, these are the only pair of their kind in existence, and she made them just for me! How lovely!

I can’t tell you how soft they are, and how comfortable. The only trouble is, they’re so amazing that I’m going to have to sew myself a whole new wardrobe full of clothes in order to do them justice! Still, I can’t see that being too much of a difficulty, can you?
