weird and wonderful

the flowers of one of the sarracenias, a carnivorous plant. 

A good day at home. I am enjoying all my at home days at the moment.
I have three trips to the UK planned within the next six weeks, possibly more later in the summer, and an extended stay in London during the autumn/early winter, all of which I am happy and excited about, but it has made being at home all the sweeter. 

Fantastic weather. We worked in the garden, and started painting all the garden furniture. I finished my little painting project - see extra picture - as well as continuing various knitting projects, and just generally enjoying the sunshine.
