Surprise!

I grabbed a few garden pics before setting off to see Ruth in Birmingham and discovered this lone Trumpet Gentian flower, hidden under the foliage of an invading Aquilegia.    A lovely surprise, reminding me of the mountains where I imagine this is peak flowering time for them.

Another busy day, when aren't they? :-/    A short dog walk.   Lots of watering  as I'm away several days - Chris will top the up at the weekend.   Packing and an hour at work before 4pm departure.   A nice evening with Ruth, marking Father's Day a few days ahead of time.   Delicious pizza and cheesecake!    Onwards to Cambridge via Poole on Friday ...... proof, if needed, of the erosion of my sanity! :-)
