Words and Music

I have been listening to this week's edition of BBC Radio 3's sublime programme 'Words and Music', while making the supper (Parsnip and Sausage Gratin - Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book, page 364).
When I was a little girl I had a framed copy of this illustration of Peter Pan's statue in Kensington Gardens.  How appropriate that today's edition of 'Words and Music' is The Great God Pan http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05sxz6j; dreamy beautiful music, interspersed with poetic words depicting Pan and Peter Pan, as the new baby princess sleeps not far away in Kensington Palace!

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
