Magnolia, Cornish Hedge and Preparation

1   Walking down to buy some chocolate (of which, more later) I passed a glorious Magnolia Stellata glowing in the afternoon sunshine.

3   As it is April Fools’ Day tomorrow and we have our Grandchildren staying I decided to do something my Dad once did for us four kids. I blew four large eggs, saving the contents for a Frittata for lunch tomorrow, melted the milk chocolate I had been out to buy and very carefully filled the empty egg shells with chocolate. Tomorrow, when the rest of the family are cutting the tops off their boiled eggs with ease, those eggs will be very hard!  They will, of course, be served so that the hole doesn’t show.IMG_4766

Weekly Photo Challenge – Ephemeral

A year ago, on Mother’s day, one of my daughters gave me a Rainbow maker which works on a tiny solar panel. It sends rainbows dancing all over the room and, when the sun is low, all the way through the house. A few weeks ago I caught a rainbow just as it landed upon a seagull on the rooftop of our beautiful driftwood sculpture made by Jo Perry. It is called Houses and Bicycle. I love how there is a tiny shadow of the seagull on the wall in the rest of the rainbow. The moment was indeed ephemeral!
