The Minotaur and the Hare

Went to Cheltenham today. I've always wondered about this statue there - The Minotaur and the Hare -

It's by Sophie Ryder. I googled for info -

********************

Saw this little table the other day at a charity shop - snapped it up, as it was cheap, thinking I'd probably paint it.





BUT, got it home and discovered it was a sewing box -

Got a lovely blue glass dish too - it's a much brighter blue than it looks here -

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw this beauty (be still, my beating heart!) -

I strolled over towards it - casually, nonchalently - 'What me, interested in that? - pah!' - inside, thinking, 'I want it, I want it'!!! -

And, as you can see, I got it! - yay! - it's huge / very heavy -

Flowers from the garden -

And flowers in the garden -

 

Can't wait for these perennial sweet peas to flower - they've grown from a tiny plant -

 

And lovely Astrantia - so handy in bunches of cut flowers - 

 

Have a great weekend!
