Celandines

Two fold choice of pictures, one purpose was to take a shot of celandines generally, the other to try out the macro facility on the new iPhone’s camera.  So clear!  

As I drove back into the lane today, after visiting my mother for a cup of coffee, it was ablaze with celandines.  I love how they shine, opening up when it’s sunny with the glaze on the petals refracting the light.  Every bank was shimmering with glistening golden stars.   I didn’t stop to take a general photo but took some on the steps near the house which were draped with fallen catkins. 

Busy day, lots to do before going off tomorrow.  Got a new case delivered for the new phone, I like Apple’s own silicone cases which stop the phone from slipping out of your hands and provide some sort of barrier.  

Two big calls but I eventually got round to doing some packing. Not leaving too early tomorrow so will finish in the morning.  

V was teaching and I cooked rack of lamb with wild garlic pesto and roast potatoes and tomatoes.  We watched ep 3 of Adolescence which was very powerful.  My Netflix friend tells me that the show is an international hit - I think it’s speaking to a need.  

Ivy is four today.  Happy birthday darling, see you tomorrow.
