Magnolia

The weather was too rubbish for climbing so I went down the M1 to Mary's, where it was lovely to find that she was almost sorted following her house move and the bungalow was looking beautiful and tranquil.

We went into Leicester as she had an optician's appointment, and then she took me on a tour including the Grayson Perry exhibition, Richard III's tomb in the cathedral, and a lovely little walled garden where there were several large hibiscus bushes, a mulberry tree and this magnolia.
