I hope the Flowers in May, posted for your delectation, have pleased you. I scheduled them all, taken just before we went away for a long needed break – a train journey to Amsterdam with friends. Over the next week or two I’ll share photos from then.
St Pancras station where we caught the Eurostar
Amsterdam Centraal
While we were away on our long planned train trip to Amsterdam, the funeral of our Dear friend and breakfast companion, J, took place. As we very sadly couldn’t be there to say goodbye and to sing for him with my choir, my lovely choir leader offered to take something precious of mine so that a part of me would be there.
I chose a small ribbon in purple, white and green that Daughter no 3 gave me some time ago. J appreciated my suffragette history and so it seemed an appropriate token to represent me last week. 
Grown well in our absence

It is good to see the garden after a bit of time away … to see it thriving!
Good you had a great time away in Amsterdam. Always worth to go there…. I do love the Eurostar.

Yes, good to see it thriving and our lovely neighbour had taken care of the ‘babies’ in the greenhouse and they’ve all thrived as well.
We love the Eurostar too! 🙂
