Hi Di, thanks for reading and commenting. It's hard to relate to those go-getter people, they do seem to achieve a lot but their achievements are perhaps 'microwaved'. Taking and giving time to appreciate is like living life in a slow cooker, I...

You have captured their sweetness beautifully. The pink and white hues are just like marshmallows, and skittering describes their growing habit perfectly. To me, field bindweed is the ultimate 'flower fairies' flower and I always enjoy spotting...

A beautiful and rich tribute

The word wicked, derived from Wiccan. I can't see anything too wicked here from June, except sacrificing a chicken, something KFC do on a gargantuan scale daily.
I enjoyed reading Paul because it's well-written, very unique and I wanted...
