Velvety Chocolate

I've been trying to capture this plant for a number of weeks, to show it in all it's glory. It has the most velvety dark chocolate flowers, that my camera doesn't seem to do justice to.
We had Alexander today and on the whole, he was a well behaved little boy. I did take umbrage this morning, when he told me that I was 'too old' to eat cereal!!

My Son in Law accidentally took my mobile phone to work with him and I've now realised just how much I rely on it for checking emails etc.

The day was rounded off with sausages cooked on the fire pit, followed by marshmallows.
