It's a good job......

......that I've got a sense of humour.


I thought I'd post photos of the beautiful white tulips, I planted in the Autumn.





Yes, that's right......





White tulips......





I think there's been a mix up......





But the style police haven't knocked on the door yet......





And they are still quite lovely in their own way.


I like to think someone somewhere is having a chuckle.


Nature...... Garden centre...... Optician!


Photos taken on a rainy afternoon in the front garden of our little house in London.


Have a great weekend.

Up the blues......



Last week my husband and sons thought it would be fun to take me to a football (soccer) match.






Tottenham Hotspur versus Chelsea.


Now I'm not a football fan but apparently "we was robbed!!"


Aesthetically, however it was quite pleasing as both teams play in blue.





And that got me thinking......






It's such a great colour combination......







Can be moody......








Always versatile......







A purple hue......







Can you be too blue?......





Aah...... the dream......




The reality......









This ones personal......


Its the blue garden chair where my friend Sally G spent many a peaceful hour before losing her long battle with cancer last week......







The end......




Have a great week......
