If I am honest, Korea was pretty bleak and grey during the winter. Yeah, sure, the snow was nice and everything for a couple of days but then it was all slush and boredom.
However, now that spring has come, Korea really is a very beautiful country. For 3 or so weeks at the end of March/April, the cherry trees blossom, making anywhere with a cherry tree very pretty indeed. Here’s some pictures taken after Erica’s wedding:
Of course I also took some up-close, “arty-farty” shots:
And then a super up-close shot, which we are now using as the header for our blog because it’s nice:
Here’s another picture which is typical of Korea – pretty things with lots of cars and buildings:
And here’s Rich looking smart but grumpy:
There are also lots of flowers and bushes with flowers all around Ansan. Here’s some more close-ups and so on:
There are some nice pink ones too:
Last weekend, even though I still have annoying bronchitis, we went for a picnic at the Lake Park. It was really warm and nice but I was a bit tired. Here’s some pictures:
The only minor flaw with Korea in springtime is the grass is still a little bit yellow but oh well. So, we had a nice picnic. I made a chicken pasta salad, with some regular lettucey salad and of course, Chic-choc cookies.
Rich was looking very cool at the picnic. Also, the park authorities have finally turned on the fountains and it was very pretty.
We then went to a less noisy area of the park and had a nice lie in the sun and then went home. Good times.
