Opening poppy

I have a passion for poppies and have a number of different coloured ones rampaging in the garden. Watching the anticipation as this one has come in to bud and then starting to unfurl.

Toss up for the blip though as I went to visit my friend with her 11 week old baby Ben; little feet and hands always transfix me, thinking of the miles they will walk in their time, but now beautifully soft. We had a lovely time, sitting in the sun, with a nice chilled glass of wine, catching up on things.

In the evening, a dear friend popped in for a catch up and also we enjoyed smirking at Eurovision! Oh dear.
