Nerines in the sunshine

I've been waiting so long to see the Nerine flowers  in sunshine, but finally this morning we did see a glimmer of sun, after more than a week of grey dull skies, and I managed to photograph the blooms. 
We spent time in the garden planting  a few spring bulbs and  doing some weeding and tidying up, but remembering to pause for a couple of minutes  at 11am, as it is Remembrance Sunday.   

Late afternoon, we went for a brief local  walk and bumped into our friend,  C, who had surgery for a replacement heart valve just over a year ago. He is so well recovered he has recently walked part of the  Offa's Dyke Way (20 km on one day ). It was a useful chat with him as another of our friends, P, had a new heart valve and  bypass surgery last Friday, carried out by the same  surgeon.C's advice to P to take up all the cardiac rehab physio on offer, seems very wise.
