"To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour. "

Almond Blossom

Almond Blossom by Jo Bradford

My Mum lives in the Andalucian Hills with views across the sea to Africa. Her home is high up on a hilltop and the slopes of her mountain top home are thick with almond and olive groves.

When the Almonds are in full blossom, the wonderful scent hangs thick in the warm Spanish evening air, as the birds and the bees buzz around gleefully collecting their pollen and nectar.
