Ageing beautifully

The tulips have aged beautifully.  The same cannot be said of myself.  I found that I now had three vases of ageing, drying tulips waiting in the utility room to be photographed and so I've made a collage to feature all three bunches.  Afterwards I had the not so pleasant task of clearing out the vases which were a bit whiffy to say the least!

In other news: Australia has announced that it will be opening its borders to vaccinated tourists, for the first time in nearly two years, commencing 21 February.  Look out, friends and family: we'll be planning to come and see you soon!
