Nearly there

Xmas present about to Bloom, has suddenly opened in the last two days, and a second bud is sprouting. Hope we see it before we go away. still that is in 2 weeks so should be OK.
Funeral today of our neighbour, lovely weather so that was something. Got a bit annoyed as crowds of his neighbours were there, mainly for the Coffee and Rolls afterwards. If they had been a bit more in evidence when he lived he would quite likely still be here! That was part of his problem, he felt so alone.
