Veins . .

I was gifted some Allium seeds yesterday and whilst planting them I found this lovely holly leaf skeleton. 
No idea where it blew in from as I dont have holly here.  
A friend's birthday today - so went for coffee and to drop off her card and gift. Had a lovely chat. Then I went off to do the weekly shop and feed the car.  Fuel for the car is more than my weekly food bill....ouch! And it will all continue to rise........
Still I won't moan as at least I have a roof over my head, food in the cupboard and am not being bombed or shelled by a maniac's armies. My heart bleeds for those poor families.....
