1 Lovely cards and phone calls today for Mr S and my dear Dad (1916-2004) in my head all day.
2 Purple is one of my favourite colours (along with green – which with white, makes up the Suffragette colours, of which more in another post) Do click on the photo to see the furriness of the centre section, it’s so beautiful!
What’s left when the poppy petals have all dropped
Beautiful French Lavender
I wish you could smell this as well as see it – so lovely.
3 Singing tonight with the Treggies blew a touch of the blues away! We laugh, we sing and we sometimes cry! One song, ‘The Soldier’s Farewell’ is particularly moving and was, apparently, also sung by Cornish tin miners on the station as they were about to emigrate and leave their families far behind.
