Spring clean

I've spent the morning gutting out our bedroom. The stacks of books beside the bed were getting out of control, and the fluff under the bed needed tackling. It is now shining like a new pin, even the windows are gleaming. Tomorrow I'll tackle the uncharted territory of my son's room, but only to retrieve certain household items that have gone in there and not reappeared.
Also cleaning up my photography drives, burning things onto CD, and binning things that aren't quite right, but that I was obviously attached to when I took them.
Tomorrow I hope to vist a garden to take some picture, weather/light permitting. I need to get up early if it's going to be sunny as the light is now too harsh from mid morning to about three/four in the afternoon. At the weekend I took myself off to a favourite wood and just messed about taking ferns unfurling and fresh new beech leaves, which are a lovely delicate green when they first break.
This is a picture of my wisteria, sorry I can't share the scent. It's on the back wall of the kitchen, and I have a few chairs underneath it so we can sit and savour the perfume. Nearby is a large daphne ordora, it always flowers late in my garden as it's in deep shade during the winter and early spring. The scent of the two together is just stunning.
