Acer

After we got home from cleaning the lodge we set about tidying up our little woodland garden. Our sitting area was being invaded by ivy, allium and periwinkle. Taking a break over a cup of coffee, I noticed the flowers on an acer japonicum Aurea. This tree is about 35 years old and provides a bright point in a shady area.

It was nice to be claiming back this lovely quiet area of our garden, we should sit down here more often.

We began to watch Eurovision but, I must be getting old, I soon got tired of all the flashing lights and special effects. I like music and singing. They have their own beauty without the gimmicks.
