Last man standing

These lovely Eryngium are almost the last of the lovely bouquet 'flowers from the Chateau' I had for my Birthday from #2 daughter but kind Mr HB bought a small bunch home from his supermarket shop today, so the  sad vase has now been revitalised.

Not much achieved today apart from food shopping and a visit from gliding friends to deliver parachutes for repacking tomorrow.  Our little house is groaning with 10 parachutes cluttering up the hall, stairs and landing.  On the upside, I don't have to bother with any housework!
