This is just going to be a quick blog, because I just don't have the time to do a long one. I am feeling very tired, I think it's because I'm just not used to having someone here with me all the time. Although Mandi does more for me, I still feel knackered.

Well the other day I think I mentioned that I'd suddenly discovered that my camellia had decided to grace me with 3 flowers, which I was completely delighted with, as it hadn't had any flowers on it for nearly 3 or 4 years.

Well imagine my delight yesterday when I discovered loads more flowers on them!!! I'm wondering if it's suddenly found the sun, because my other neighbours had chopped down some bushes just on the other side of the wall.

Such a pretty flower

One minute there's nothing and then this.....

I had no idea that it would soon come out in all its glory

As you can see, there are lots of flowers and it looks as if there are going to be some more within the next few days!! It's great because it's in a particularly dull part of the drive.

So many petals
They look like roses like this

So pretty

I really do believe there are more flowers however they wish to get on the list.

The wind at the moment is icy, I can't believe it's almost May and so far we down here in the south west have only had a couple of warm sunny days, while those on the east coast - London etc, - have had lots of hot sunny days and the weather people are saying how it's been the hottest April for decades - I wish they'd come down here and see how we are, then maybe the weather forecasts may be a tad more truthful.
