Disappointment!

Not the flower, they never fail to please. This is probably a Veronica, it's growing semi-wild in the garden with some dark purple ones I bought 25 years ago. Just one spray of lilac, more delicate ones.

Anyhow, GARDEN, that's the word that shouldn't be in my blip today! I should be on a Showfield, selling jewellery or prints, or cards and be out trying to get a snap of the riders jumping over one of the huge logs on the cross-country course. However, lying in bed this morning we heard the annoucement over the Tannoy that the show had been cancelled due to overnight rain making the riding too dangerous.

Oh, dear! Sunday is always the best days to be at a show and we get no refund of our fee when shows are cut short. We just have to pack up and go home.

So, disappointed not to get another horsey shot to follow yesterday's.
