Reasons to be cheerful



Babs came along to the workshop on Saturday 
bearing gifts.  Some pipes for pole wrapping, a
delicious home grown cucumber, and this.....



a dactura (Angel trumpet) grown from seed.   
This made me very happy.  I have tried over the
years to grow dactura without success.  Today
it is very humid and I swear I could see
it opening.



Jasmine winds through the wisteria on the balcony rail.
On warm evenings we eat here and the scent reminds
me of India.


A big lilly flower.  Beautiful scent. The stem is
 about a metre high with six flower heads.  
 The hover flies are loving it.

Finally, me and Mr. Ben. 



Now to pack for a two day Indigo workshop with
Chichester Quilters tomorrow.  It's going to be 
great.  Perfect weather for dipping the blues.
