I have called this short piece Blood Wedding after the play by Lorca<\/p>\n
\n
I did not have a title until I purchased a copy of his play in a supermarket of all places<\/p>\n
\n
Today was one one of those late spring days where there was still a slight coolness in the air but the strength of the high sun compensates and one almost feels that summer has arrived<\/p>\n
\n
We visited an Elizabethan manor house which is hidden from view<\/p>\n
\n
The gardens were exquisite as normal and showed nothing of their winter woes<\/p>\n
\n
I particularly admired the smooth lawns and the seasonal hush flowers<\/p>\n
