We took a pretty pink garden posy to our dear friend, Ti, yesterday and loved, as always, sharing poems and, this time, telling her all about our holiday in Italy. We were away for her 105th birthday at the start of the month so it was fun to see her many cards and hear about her day.
I’ve spent the afternoon at a fabulous and unusual birthday party. We started with a brilliant hour’s singing workshop with my choir leader, spent another hour eating cake and chatting to all the lovely prople. The afternoon continued with a ceilidh but I didn’t stay for that!
I made a Victoria sponge as my contribution to the party.
I love the fluffy bee who spent such a long time inside a vibrant pick Cosmos.

I am busy watching a series on Netflix called the Blue Zones about communities around the globe that have the most centenarians and why.
Fascinating and well worth the watch. After all none of us is getting any younger! 😊
