Feeling better.

Thanks for everybody's well wishes, I feel so much better now. I had some sort of stomach bug, nobody else got it luckily. I feel so privileged to have had it all to myself!
Saturday whilst I was ill Malc and the three youngest boys had a fun swim at the local swimming pool with the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. All the inflatables were thrown in and they all had a fantastic time.
Yesterday the three youngest had St George's parade which went really well, luckily it stayed dry whilst they marched.
I thought I'd leave you with a beautiful flower, I think it's an azalea, it was given to me by a lovely lady last year. It's a lot bigger than any I've seen before so if you think it isn't and think you know what it could be I would be very grateful if you could let me know.

 A close up,


Forgive the gate, it's in need of some paint, a job for the summer I think! I just thought that the red flowers looked so beautiful amongst the greenery.

  5. Hi Bridget, Yep I think it's an azalea too, it obviously likes living with you if gotten so big already. As for the gate it's vintage or shabby chic... it's what makes a home a home rather than just a show house. Just add it to the list of jobs.
