When it’s spring again, I’ll bring again…

Old women’s favourite, Max Bygraves, once warbled that, ‘When it’s spring again, I’ll bring again, tulips from Amsterdam’. A thoroughly commendable sentiment and no mistake, and one that without a doubt has a much better ring to it than, ‘When it’s March again, I’ll try to manoeuvre again, tulips to Tokyo’s Marunouchi district’.

However, as un-lyrical a line as the latter may be, it has actually been managed, with beautifully coloured blooms briefly brightening up at least a bit of the capital’s business quarters — an event that proved very popular with men in masks.

    Terrific shots as always. The dog is a little disturbing, but I can’t quite put my finger on “why”.

      Thanks Lizzy. Yeah, it’s a strange looking creature, but it’s the most patient dog I’ve ever seen. It was incredibly well behaved.

    You forgot the last line of this post: “with massive nuts”.

      Erm, yeah, I was hoping to take the attention away from its testes!
