Sloe Mornings and Delays

The blackthorn hedge may be spiky and vicious but isn't this blossom beautiful? Another reason I am happy to see the blossom is the thought of all those wonderful sloes in autumn and the delights of making sloe gin ready for Christmas gifts.

Blackthorn Blossom (become Sloes, in autumn)

A Surprise Flower in the Garden, pink, blue and lilac all on one tiny stem

I don't mind surprises like this one!

Honeysuckle Leaves Drenched with Moisture

Can you see the spider?

I love the collection of droplets clinging to this plant

Drenched, but beautiful, these flowers were found in a forgottenflowerpot

they survived the winter and are doing their own thing.

I had time to meander around the garden this morning, it was cold and misty - perfect for playing with the macro lens of the camera.





The delays? George is suffering from a trapped sciatic nerve, so the polytunnel won't be completed for a while. He has had this before; he suffered badly for a few days and then it cleared up and he was mobile again...





... otherwise he'll be off to the chiropractor whether he likes it or not.
