I ADORE Poirot. Mind you I've only read one short story in the series, which I was inspired to pick up after being delighted by Kenneth Branagh's portrayal of him in "Murder on the Orient Express", so it might be a tad early for me to judge, but the quote you shared definitely adds another notch to the ADORE column.
We also have a couple of bushes outside our apartment building that sprout similar cherry-blossom-style flowers to the ones at the beginning of your video and they finally started to bloom this week!!! Winter doesn't typically relent until almost the end of May here, and this year it felt like it might never give up the reins, SO I was overjoyed to finally see them!
I've been making an effort to learn how to identify the plants around me, in part because I love the sound of their Latin names 😉, and as far as I can tell the ones we have are double-flowering plum / almond, also known as Prunus triloba. Sadly they don't seem to produce any actual plums, or almonds, so I'm not entirely sure how they got their name. Looks like I've got some more research to do!
Thank you, as always, for taking the time to share your month with us. I know how frustrating it can be when it feels like a new piece of equipment just won't co-operate, but the work you've put in to develop your skills as a filmmaker and a storyteller shines through every shot, even the fuzzy ones. 💛
p.s. After listening to your review of "Unearthing the Secret Garden" I immediately borrowed everything my library had by Marta McDowell. She sounds like my kind of biographer. 🥰 Can't wait to dive in.
p.p.s. If you haven't already, I'd recommend looking into dandelion honey, and maybe try putting those weeds to work! If you can't beat 'em, at least you can eat 'em. 😆 Good luck!
How lovely, Emma! Loved seeing your quotes and thinking about everything. I ended up buying Unearthing the Secret Garden as a birthday gift for my sister. Maybe *slightly* self-serving gift 😂 as I know she’ll borrow it to me next spring when I plan on reading it. ♥️ She really loves The Secret Garden and plants, etc, so hopefully, she will enjoy it!
