Sharing Old Memories

Bank holidays always are a bit of a loose end for me... So thought I'd share some old memories.

Today we went for a walk and saw one of these. This is one I captured a while ago - I did not have my camera in time today... The blue is quite vibrant in the real.




Today I finished off my final OU assignment. I have been at a loss as to what to put on my blog of late, as my head has been filled with academia ;) So as usual I will be reviewing how the garden is faring and getting back to my more creative writing.

Sadly my camellia did not do well after wet and windy Spring weather. Although it had twelve buds, all of them either dropped off, or disappeared (likely blown away). So found this from a year or two ago when it did bloom to show it in flower. Maybe next year...


Some flowers from the past, looking forward to sitting in the garden (hopefully) now my studying is finished. The garden will be my new haunt rather than hunched over my books and laptop.

Pretty daughter's dahlias



Fuchias are so beautiful - courtesy of my Dad - the grower. If I remember rightly, the actual species of this one sounds very much like my name...

Next course

I am having to take a blog break...

My next OU course; 'Worlds of English' is about to start and from my quick reference - it looks quite 'heavy'. This meaning; I will have to focus on English language and it's complexities for nine months. It will be interesting, it will at times be - I am sure as any student knows (especially us mature ones ;D) totally frustrating. It will be all worth the effort in the end - I am sure. I need to brush up on my grammar and stop use of colloquialisms!

Wishing you blue skies...
