Lowertrees

We had an expedition to Lowertrees Nursery on Wednesday.  It is all of a 10 minute drive away - doubled on that occasion by a traffic cone holdup - one lane blocked - and it's only a few minutes walk from car to plants - it's a very small nursery - with excellent plants. But, depressingly, that tiny tiny outing left me exhausted and in a lot of pain.

Anyway, we got our Nemesia to colour and scent our balcony and some more geraniums.  The pic above is of our newly planted balcony.  I hope to post one later when its in its full flowering glory.

And I must note that our valiant little Thrift has come through the winter, still flowering.  It features in the second photo.

It was a busy day on Wednesday, by my standards, nowadays.  We went to spend the morning with our Bible student, the Flower Lady. She is having her medical troubles at the moment, so we didn't make it formal, just showed her a couple of videos and had coffee and a chat.

Then I had my usual Zoom session in the afternoon before we set off on our Trek to the Garden Centre.

The Memorial was a stressful occasion this year, as I only managed to get there in Zoom.  I had been planning to go, the Captain was officially fit to chauffeur me, though not up to coming, and I had even been sheared for the occasion, so my hair looks as neat as it can.

Anyway, I did attend in Zoom and managed to find the emblems - I had some crispbread, which is basically flour and water, no leaven, and Col poured me a glass of red wine.  I did drink the wine later - AFTER the Memorial was over - as I felt I needed a glass of something.  I rarely drink these days.  And I don't take the emblems as I am not one of those with the heavenly hope. They are only 144,000, according to the Book of Revelation. The hope for most of us - and for me - is to "inherit the earth", and live forever on this beautiful planet.

However, I did make more of the Memorial Bible readings this year, as I decided to read the relevant chapters in the book "Jesus, The Way, The Truth, The Life".  It is an account of the life and ministry of Jesus, as told in the Christian Greek Scriptures, or New Testament, all in chronological order. 

Two things that I gleaned from it this time had not struck me before, and I might come back to them in another blog.
