We were practising Ethel Smythe’s Suffragette anthem, “March of the Women” this morning and Claire had moved on from our part to the sopranos so I went on to the balcony to take photos of our beautiful view. (See below.) Just under the balcony were pots of purple flowers in small green planters, serendipitously the colours of the Suffragettes, purple, white and green.
Purple, white and green
The view, as always, was stunning.

This afternoon, the lovely Mr S and I went to the garden centre to try to find some Runner Bean plants. This beautiful Marmalade Cat was lounging on the counter reminding me of Orlando, the Marmalade Cat, a delightful story book from my childhood and written by Kathleen Hale, Anyone else remember Orlando?

Delighted that you remember Orlando too! He gave me such joy as a child! I’d love to find a copy of one of the books now. I did see one in a junk shop a few years ago but I didn’t buy it. :(. I will keep looking. 🙂
