Flowering

It was a good idea not to plan anything for today, because we heard this morning that D’s Dad had died in the early hours and that set the tone for the day. We went about our daily tasks, but at the back of it all was that knowledge, and all the emotions and reflections which come unbidden when we lose a parent. D had already planned to go back down to St Helens tomorrow, but now it will be a different kind of visit.

We had another hot and bright day and here is the beautiful evening light on my daisies. I bought these a few years ago at Drumlanrig Castle, on my birthday.
