Narcissi

Out on the steps at the back of the house - the Southern Steppes, as we like to call them - we have a huge pot of these, flowering their heads off. And the smell is lovely!

Had a great birthday today, lots of phone calls, neighbours coming round with chocolate cake with candles on it, cards and pressies and dear friends visited for coffee. The sun shone all day, the washing dried on the line, various folk came and collected fruit trees, I spent an hour or so sitting in the sun brushing Ollie and then doing a bit of knitting and then a meal out tonight with the most wonderful man in the world! Who could ask for more? (especially at my age!)

Life can be great - make the most of it!
