Weed

You  know how people say that 'a weed is only a plant in the wrong place'? Well in that case this peony is a weed. It seems to have self-seeded under our hedge and despite me trying to dig the roots out it keeps coming back for more. At least it provides lovely big pink flowers for cutting.

And you will have noticed that the sun did return as I hoped. There was still light in the sky well after 10pm last night. A late night call from an old friend also made for a much better evening that recent ones. No more grumping.
