Col took a walk along the seafront on Sunday among the flowers of June and these above are a couple of the photos he took - Poppy and Sea Kale. (Memo to Self: Had we had children, and been in Showbiz, should we have called our children Poppy and Sea Kale?) He also chauffered me to the Hall, so I was able to attend the Sunday meeting in person rather than in pixel.
We saw a couple of fox cubs in our gardens on Monday night. Well done mother Fox! Some photos of them should appear in my next blog, along with a Haiku in their honour, if MatSue is up to it.
Our "outing" to the Clinic in Brighton Wednesday morning was pointless in one sense in that having done the first set of tests on me they found that my eyes are too dry for the operation. So I have been sent away with instructions to up my eye-drop routine - actioned - and to see my GP. Having been asked by my dentist to see the GP re my dry mouth some weeks ago, the appointment, the first I could get, is on Friday. So I now have some more information for him, and hopefully he will give me some ideas of how to improve the situation.
It was a very early get-up too, as we had to arrive in Brighton at 8:45, which we did.
It was cold and overcast in the morning, with some light rain on the way back - but the afternoon was sunny (and cold), and the balcony plants really shone in in the blowy sunshine. They are looking so wonderful as I write this blog that I must stop and thank Jehovah for them. We have a lovely display of poppies in the front garden too.
What a month June is for flowers! Our seafront dresses itself exquisitely this time of year. And what is - to quote the poet (Dylan Thomas) - "the force that through the green fuse drives the flower"?
It took me nearly 4 decades to find out. It is the spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, the Almighty God, the Creator of both this immense universe and the delicate perfection of every flower.
