Flower Friday

My contribution to this week’s Flower Friday is a Hollyhock from my friend’s garden that I’m caretaking just now.
My extra is a shot of The Flying Scotsman pulling The Cathedrals Express. It was on the midland main line at Souldrop having just passed through Sharnbrook en route for Sharnbrook Summit and then on to York. A glimpse of the front of an East Midlands 125 can be seen in the top right hand corner
