Utterly magical and mysterious 🌈🌄💫

Thank you so much, dear David - that is really appreciated 🫂 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 🕊️💜🌿🙋‍♀️💚🫂

You absolutely must! When life turns more gentle. Thinking of you, dearest Venetia - and sending love & hugs winging their way 🕊️🤗💜xxx

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 🫂💜🌿🌼🙋‍♀️💜

Ah, thank you so much 🙏🌼

Thank you so much - glad you like her! 🌸

Thank you so much, lovely 'Ruby' 🙏

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 🌼🌿🌸xx

And love & 🤗winging their way down south to you, Venetia! And thank you so much; I do like a simple little arrangement 💛🌿💙xxx

Oh Helen - I'm so sorry to hear that, and am sending warmest good wishes over the miles to you 💜 Here, my Loved One is on the 'golden pathway'... Take good care 🌿🌼xx

Collage of four zinnia flowers at different stages of bloom, showing pale green, pink, and yellow petals against a blurred green background.

In the language of flowers, the Zinnia, native to Mexico, symbolises friendship and loyalty. It conveys sentiments such as “I miss you,” “you are in my thoughts,” or “where there is love there can be no separation.” #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 🙏 Take good care, hugs 🤗💜xxx

I do like a nice towpath 🌳Hope MOT wasn't too painful 😬xx

There's absolutely no need to rush with the post - as my (Cumbrian) Grandpa would say, a treat deferred is even better! 😍Sending love & hugs in the astral post to you 💌🤗xxx

And the #cucamelons are way too 💦demanding! 😂xxx

Ah yes, that's a very good point about all the watering, especially if you have a hosepipe ban in place! 😬🚿I'm just slightly regretting trying my hand at growing cucumbers & courgettes this year 🥒😅🤗xxx

What a gorgeous and glorious selection box of regal Dahlias, Venetia 🥰🌸🌿🌼You clearly have queenly hands... 🌸👩‍🌾🌿🌼

They are very lovely - and much less flighty than some of their more shy pals 🦋🥰And those amazing antler antennae! 🦌😃🦋xxx

These are so lovely 💜🌿😍

A corncockle, perhaps 🌸🌿

How very lovely, Venetia - and those topped-and-tailed six-spot burnets are most beautifully balanced! 🦋🌸🌿💜🦋xxx

Oh, thank you so much, Venetia - my dear Cumbrian Grandpa always loved 'Peace' rose 🌼🌸🌿🕊️xxx

Ah, Opora, goddess of the harvest and autumn fruits, has touched the hedgerows... 🍂🍒🫐

Thank you so much, dear David & Libby - and my very best wishes to Libby's brother for a successful transplant and steady healing 🙏🌿⚕️💜🙋‍♀️xx

Such a glorious collection of Rose Power 😍

Thank you for the kind thoughts and wishes from you both, dear David 🤗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 🌧️🌦️🌈🌅🌸💜🙋‍♀️
