Heyjude
I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

Is that “Honeygem”? I do love Grevillea one of my favourite natives
No idea PP. This was in the Eurobodalla botanic garden where Meg took me.
So many yellows to cheer us all up!
So many yellow flowers, I could probably post one a day for an entire year! But I won’t. This is a special one though. I do love Aussie flora.
And they’re unknown to me, so keep them coming.
I’m enjoying your bonus yellows, Jude!
Oh, good!
😊😊
That’s a fabulous Grevillea shot, Jude. 🙂 🙂 Grudgingly watching Novak and Karatsev.
Who are you picking to win now then?
Novak, I suppose. He responded very well to Karatsev. But Medvedev could do it. I don’t really care cos I don’t like either of them. My preference would probably be Tsitsipas, but let the best man win 🤣🎾💕
Where did you find that? Not in the UK?
They do grow here, but not this one. From the Eurobodalla botanic garden.
Well there you go. I just watched a Simon Reeves doco on Cornwall. Quite pretty but the poverty was eye opening
Cornwall has always been a poor county – relies heavily on tourism and when people started to go on cheap European holidays that declined too. Only fishing and agriculture – none of which bring in a huge amount of money. So many second homes that locals are priced out of buying in their own county. But it is a great place for artists and creative folk and small entrepreneurs. The poverty shown on that program is no worse than many other towns and cities in the UK. It’s criminal to me that anyone hasn’t enough to live on in the 21st century. But everyone seems to afford a phone and smart TV. Not like when I was poor.
Much like Australian country towns. When the industry declines towns slow, houses are relatively cheap and city folk buy renovate. Then rents or resale price locals out. The shit that people buy when they have no money…..
Sorry, wrong link. Delet that one, Jude. This is the film.

I hope Jude got to see it
That is really beautiful!
Grevilleas are such pretty flowers.
Absolutely!
Shipment received. Thank you for delivering a smile.
Glad you like this one Frank.
That plant seems to be ‘unravelling’. It is very unusual.
Best wishes, Pete. x
They are lovely – they flower from stem to tip. We get smaller ones here in Cornwall, usually red or pink, but I did see some up in the Logan Botanic Garden in Scotland too! I think my garden is too windy for them as they like some shelter.
The challenge is just too soon for me but by next week my Mimosa may be out and the daffodils surely can’t hide much longer. Today’s sunshine I’m hoping will hasten their blossoming.
My daffs are beginning to show their colours now, a little later than last year, and yellow crocuses are out. I’d love to see your Mimosa – you have another two weeks, so let’s hope for some sunshine!
