Freesias and lines

Very busy day so a quick garden blip. My freesias are in a pot and for some reason are very late, last of the spring bulbs this year. These are the ones with a strong smell so have them by the kitchen door and get to smell them every time I go out.

Cousins 65th birthday lunch, and lots of tomatoes planted. I'm early with the toms this year so really hope we don't get a late frost!

It really brings home that we don't have a city centre left, that although a lot of work has been done it's still largely pulling down, and I realise again that even if I live to be 90 there won't be a finished city in my life time - scary stuff. But great to see the young ones, for whom the new city is their future, giving so much pleasure to people, with their innovative ideas and hard work. To see some of the "spaces: click here for Luxcity
