Sleeping Sickness and Migraine

Not a very achieving day for me - woke up with a headache, and went back to bed to try and sleep it off. When I got up again, I started a migraine - soon sorted out with a sumatriptan tablet and time in the garden, playing with Bella and looking at flowers, including these astrantias.

I loved the way that this hop plant caresses our shed door.

This is a variety of elder - very pretty flowers against dark leaves.

We went out down to Larkhall for a while and found ourselves down on Beaufort East off the London Road, a grand Georgian terrace.

After that, I took Bella out for a walk, and saw this new piece of graffiti ( by "Tat") on an electricity substation

A pretty bed of flowers on the walk.

The grasses in the fields are doing really well despite/because of the wind and rain.

More umbellifers.

This day a year ago, Su was feeling artistic - producing this vignette of Bella amongst other items for the blog.
