A double dose of sunshine today, inside and out: blue skies and fluffy white clouds with a whole day of gorgeous sunshine plus a box of sweet-smelling narcissi from the Isles of Scilly, carefully wrapped in green tissue and a sturdy cardboard box. These were ordered by my son, David, for my birthday back in early February, but at that time, the narcissi were still growing. So Fentongollan Farm sent me David's personal greeting card and a gift token which I could exchange when the flowers were ready for cutting. So here they are - plus the blue sky!
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAren't they Just?
DeleteAh yes, spring is more than "on the way". Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLooking more hopeful now, Mary; just wish it would warm up a bit . . . . a lot!
DeleteBeautiful! I had some from the Scillies this week also, sent by a friend.
ReplyDeleteThey really do light up a room, don't they? My favourite flowers. I'm glad you have some at this time. Thinking of you.xx
DeleteWhat beautiful flowers, how very thoughtful of David. You had a birthday back in February, and again now 🙂.
ReplyDeleteHe lives in Turkey now, Jayne, so can't visit any more. It's about 18 months since I saw him, but he phones regularly and emails. The flowers bring him closer. Looking forward to when the restrictions allow him to travel back and forth without isolating, then he'd better watch out!!!
DeleteBeautiful flowers and blue sky too - lovely :)
ReplyDeleteVery welcome amidst the not-so-welcome rain, high winds and freezing temperatures of late, Eunice. Are you gearing up for May, when we (hopefully) will be able to 'hit the road' again? Everything crossed, eh?
DeleteGlad you enjoyed them Mum x
ReplyDeleteHelloooo! Lovely to 'see' you here - and the flowers are gorgeous, filling the house with their scent. Sunshine on stems! Suddenly you don't seem so far away. xxx
DeleteWhat a lovely way to start the day!
ReplyDeleteIt really was, Arleen - and hopefully for a few more days yet. I see that you've had problems when trying to leave comments on blogs, but you've managed it on here. YAY!! Hopefully things will carry on improving.
