What a difference a day makes....

After arriving home in the middle of the night because our plane was delayed and having to get up relatively early to pick up the dogs from the kennels, we quickly had to adjust from temperatures in the high twenties to those in single figures and persistent rain for most of the day. To top it all we had problems with the central heating first thing. Whoever said "Vive La Difference" doesn't know what they are talking about.

My blip is inevitably coloured by this experience and these sodden, yet still strangely beautiful, flowers bear witness to a thoroughly miserable and wet day.

I am not at all sure what the flowers are as they are in my neighbour's front garden
