A beautiful wedding I flowered a while back for a beautiful couple, Kayleigh and Ricky. The loveliest people and the most beautiful wedding venue.

Gorgeousness for my flower demo on Thursday. Excitement overload.

Embroidery roses I’ve been working on, practice runs for a larger piece. A poem I wrote also

I was up late again last night
Into early hours, but still moonlight
This was not insomnia, for I sleep tight
Yet there I was, sitting up deep into the night

So what was I doing up so late
What needed doing which just couldn’t wait
Embroidery of course, stitch after stitch
Try to put it down, but I get the embroiders twitch

Wide awake I am, needle and thread
Stitching away, should I go to bed?
In a minute, I’ll just finish this bit
Go to bed Jo, stop being a tit

Up late I was again last night
The tiredness overwhelms, but still I fight
My eyes are tired, blurry sight
I’ll just finish this bit, then go to bed…….. I might

Field of sunflowers not far from home. The last photo reminds me of a heart ❤️

This morning was spent in St Edmunds school refreshing the dried flower and foliage arrangements with new dried materials, in the dining hall. Can’t believe a year has flown by.

Lovely evening walk around the fields of home. Broomfield pond is looking fabulous, best it’s looked in years.

More good news for native wildlife

Whoop whoop ❤️

These are a bit gorgeous: Garden Rose “Harper”

Recent trip to North Wales. I do love mountains, miners, pyg and rangers paths, Snowdon. Role on September, when I’ll be back where I belong, Brecon Beacons.

So here it all is. From the sales of my Christmas door wreaths, this is what I have purchased for Catching Lives in Canterbury for the homeless and I shall be taking it all to them tomorrow. 10 pop up tents, ten sleeping bags, 4 new fleeces and foods and drinks they need. Plus UHT milk which i forgot to photograph.

Thank you to everybody who bought a wreath from me, look at how it will help some people.

I've also got a pile of clothing from lovely friends too which the shelter can't take at the moment, but I'll take it as soon as I'm allowed to. Thank you all so much ❤❤🤍
