Echinacea

I left the invalid alone this morning while I went out to "train dirty" on my bike with spin buddy Anthea. The "eat clean" went a bit out of the window though when we bumped into some friends, who were also out on their bikes, and ended up in Caffe Nero for coffee and cake.

This summer Igor has nurtured a couple of echinacea plants from dying wrecks to sporting one single bloom. He very kindly allowed me to pick that one single bloom for my blip today (I think in return for my super wifely ministrations of yesterday). I hope I did it justice.
