Tantalising Tulips At Barleycorn
Tiptoe
Through the window
By the window,
That is where
I'll be
Come tiptoe
Through the tulips
With me
Oh, tiptoe
From the garden
By the garden
Of the willow tree
And tiptoe
Through the tulips
With me
Knee deep
In flowers
We'll stray
We'll keep
The showers
Away
And if I
Kiss you
In the garden,
In the moonlight
Will you
Pardon me?
And tiptoe
Through the tulips with me.xxxxxxx
In May 2007 my husband and I were fortunate enough to travel south to spend two days at the Chelsea Flower Show in London. In the Great Pavilion - every gardener's delight - we fell in love with beautiful displays of tulips. We placed an order for our favourites, which arrived in late November. No sooner had the postman reached the top of the drive than I had pulled on my wellies, grabbed my spade and ran outside like an excited child, eager to plant my new bulbs. After the display of daffodils in my previous post, most of which have been frazzled in the soaring temperatures of the past week, we are thrilled to look upon our lovely tulips which bring back happy memories of our trip to Chelsea.
