Sunday's flowers. Viburnum Bodnantense. Sweetly fragrant, flowering in the depths of winter on bare wood. The leaves emerge in spring. I hope you like them.

I spent the morning sitting on a stool in the village high street. I met some very interesting people some I knew and some I met for the first time today. Dennis was 98 and sharp as a tack. Tobias was 7 and with his Mum and sister. Ian an old neighbour not seen since 2019....

..... I was offered coffee by Paul a thoughtful Co-op manager, I met some very generous and lovely people who stopped to share their day with me and their money with the RBL. Human interaction at its very finest. I am thankful for such kindness.

The ruffled petticoats of an aquilegia or the can can dancers dress of an iris are your fleurs du jour. I hope you like them. x

Dinner tonight was a Szechuan curry a la Hoppo. The addition of finely chopped potatoes and tomatoes added a certain extra dimension to it. Served on a bed of fluffy rice.

Dinner tonight was Paella. GD brought home some huge prawns. So chorizo, prawns, carnarolli rice, peppers, onions and paella spices and voila!! It was so tasty and lovely to sit en famille to eat a meal. Now they are older we rarely do as it does not fit their schedules.

Today was the annual schools pumpkin and autumn day at Wellington college. The children get to 'bob' for apples, taste several varieties of apple, learn about autumn harvests and generally have a good fun day. I parked my car and carried the pumpkins to the venue...

... The distance from the car park to the venue was about 400 metres. Carrying 15kg of pumpkins and squashes in torrential rain was a test of my patience and resolve but we got there in the end. Here are some more of the exotic fruits on display. Our school came second this year.
