promise blossom

15/03/2022 By HC

Every day now there is more and more blossom as we arrive at the first days of Spring. Irrespective of today’s hard frost we are finally heading for the big thaw and some welcome sunny days ahead. We are continuing our tradition from past years here on the journal today, sharing the blossom forecast for Hanami in Japan for the coming season. For now we have collated some of our own modest blossom shots taken locally over the last few Spring seasons. Enjoy!
