Utterly magical and mysterious πππ«
Thank you so much, dear David - that is really appreciated π« I think I have inherited traces of our local limestone and millstone grit in my DNA... from my darling mother's side of the family. Love winging back to you both ποΈππΏπββοΈππ«
You absolutely must! When life turns more gentle. Thinking of you, dearest Venetia - and sending love & hugs winging their way ποΈπ€πxxx
Oh, thank you so much, dear friend David. You were not to know! We are heading towards the final times - in my Love's current form, for he is a Buddhist... The staff in his new 'home' are truly wonderful and keep me strong. My love to you & your dear ones π«ππΏπΌπββοΈπ
Ah, thank you so much ππΌ
Thank you so much - glad you like her! πΈ
Thank you so much, lovely 'Ruby' π
Actually, I've just discovered that in these 'ere parts, it's termed 'Amber' palliative care, Helen. Hopefully, a gentle pathway... All warmest wishes & floral hugs πΌπΏπΈxx
And love & π€winging their way down south to you, Venetia! And thank you so much; I do like a simple little arrangement ππΏπxxx
Oh Helen - I'm so sorry to hear that, and am sending warmest good wishes over the miles to you π Here, my Loved One is on the 'golden pathway'... Take good care πΏπΌxx
In the language of flowers, the Zinnia, native to Mexico, symbolises friendship and loyalty. It conveys sentiments such as βI miss you,β βyou are in my thoughts,β or βwhere there is love there can be no separation.β #FlowersOnFriday #FlowerFridayFamily

Sorry for such a tardy reply, dear Venetia - and I do hope you and your friend had an uplifting chat (and plenty of hugs). Am just emerging temporarily from Overwhelm Alley myself - hence tardiness. My Love is currently safe in hospital, thankfully π Take good care, hugs π€πxxx
I do like a nice towpath π³Hope MOT wasn't too painful π¬xx
There's absolutely no need to rush with the post - as my (Cumbrian) Grandpa would say, a treat deferred is even better! πSending love & hugs in the astral post to you ππ€xxx
And the #cucamelons are way too π¦demanding! πxxx
Ah yes, that's a very good point about all the watering, especially if you have a hosepipe ban in place! π¬πΏI'm just slightly regretting trying my hand at growing cucumbers & courgettes this year π₯π π€xxx
What a gorgeous and glorious selection box of regal Dahlias, Venetia π₯°πΈπΏπΌYou clearly have queenly hands... πΈπ©βπΎπΏπΌ
They are very lovely - and much less flighty than some of their more shy pals π¦π₯°And those amazing antler antennae! π¦ππ¦xxx
These are so lovely ππΏπ
A corncockle, perhaps πΈπΏ

How very lovely, Venetia - and those topped-and-tailed six-spot burnets are most beautifully balanced! π¦πΈπΏππ¦xxx
Oh, thank you so much, Venetia - my dear Cumbrian Grandpa always loved 'Peace' rose πΌπΈπΏποΈxxx
Ah, Opora, goddess of the harvest and autumn fruits, has touched the hedgerows... πππ«
Thank you so much, dear David & Libby - and my very best wishes to Libby's brother for a successful transplant and steady healing ππΏβοΈππββοΈxx
Such a glorious collection of Rose Power π
Thank you for the kind thoughts and wishes from you both, dear David π€My Beloved's next CT scan results are due next week, always an angst-ful time; 'scanxiety' as a friend terms it. Hope you & Libby have a lovely day - we are rainswept at the mo, but sunshine is promised! X π§οΈπ¦οΈππ πΈππββοΈ
