Black Tulip

A beautiful day, finally feels like summer may be on the way. This is the purple tulip from two weeks ago, still standing proud in the pot of weeds with the neglected Alliums.

I should be planning my short camping trip later this month but I'm finding it hard to say no to G who wants to come too. Am I horribly selfish to want a few days of my own company, free from any demands on my time? Just to chill and do nothing if I want, shrug off the cloak of responsibility at work. Lie in the grass and read a book listening to nothing but the waves and birdsong - bliss.
