The Cherry Tree Garden

Telford Town Park is just a short walk for me from my office, across the road and through the shopping centre. When the family come and stay at The Barn, it's a great place to take the little ones while The Missus and Big Miss go shopping - the children's play areas are quite extensive and Little W loves The Rocket slide.

Here he is zooming out the bottom.

But on sunny spring days, like we had during the week, there's a little oasis I like to visit as a spot to eat my sandwiches at lunchtime. It is the Maxell Cherry Tree Garden. This is the view as you go through the gate.

This is the time of year to visit it; it is full of flowers. Bluebells, primulas, rhododendrons are all out - it is a riot of colour.

But best of all are the Sakura Cherry trees.

Now eating your sandwiches under this canopy certainly beats eating at a desk!
