My house tulips `et la mort’!

Ive been saving them for this occasion.  There are still lots of lovely pink ones growing outside that I planted last autumn. Maybe one or two of them can be pressed into service as they fade and fall.

We’ve been for more wild bird seed this afternoon - our agricultural supplier is offering a service where we can phone in our order, pay by card and then pull in and collect.  We also called in at our Village Store which is operating a very sensible system of two customers at one time.
