Lilac

There are just too many cars! I had an appointment at the podiatry clinic today and they advertise as having parking right outside. But not today! Every space was full and I had to drive quite a way up a side road before I could find a space. I suppose the exercise will do me good. Another bonus was seeing all the lively gardens, and I was impressed by this beautiful lilac.
Lilac was my mother’s favourite flower, and I wonder whether that was partly because of the beautiful wartime song “we’ll gather lilacs in the spring again …..when you come home once more.” Such poignant words.
