Flower Friday

We were walking around the village when this utterly glorious scent hit us, and it seems to have come from this. I think it's a clematis, although I've no idea if I'm right. So we nicked a cutting... maybe we will have some utterly glorious scent in the garden next year, eh. 

Aside: I've never been a pacifist, exactly, but live my life as a pacifistic person. However, I have to admit, with all the crap going on out there I felt the urge today to carry a weapon - just so I could fight back if the shit went bang near me. A totally futile and entirely unreasonable feeling to be sure, but for once I felt I understood the thing with firearms in America. Peace and calm take hold once more, here and all over. May the gods that be, agree.
