Cosmos

The day's been spent processing, gardening and wood-staining cladding. 

This Cosmos is a gorgeous dark red colour but the photograph looked better like this.  M is preparing a BBQ, R is drinking cocktails down at the Gallery but coming back for food.  One of those very rare hot summer days when you can be outside in the evening (with Smidge of course).

Ha - just twigged it's my 1000th blip - should have done something clever.  Nevermind.
