Rough Diamond.

Aquilegia leaves always seem to hold the largest drops of dew. Sparkling in the morning sunshine the reminded me of uncut or rough diamonds.

A rough diamond is the description of choice for a fascinating guy I had the pleasure of meeting recently who was introduced to me by his sister at a presentation dinner I was attending.

Straight from the cast of 'The Only Way is Essex', he ticked all the cliché boxes I could hope for .

Sadly there was a total sense of humour failure in this gorgeous hunk of Essex.
