Camellia.....

.....Silver Anniversary, still looking beautiful with its yellow stamens amongst the pure white frills. The leaves are covered in pollen making them look quite dusty.

Spring cleaning day today while Daughter A did some work away from work, the internet is a useful thing. Hubby flew to Auckland for a meeting so a late tea for us tonight and Daughter E has a dance class after her course, it takes a bit of keeping up with everyone at present. Lovely to have mum pop round for afternoon tea providing a break in our busy day.

I've still a few more jobs to be done before I can call it quits, nice to have Moroccan Lamb with chickpeas, apricots, prunes and sultanas slowly cooking away, delish I hope, we've not tried this one before.

Happy Monday everyone :)
