Beautiful! And I imagine they were even brighter and more breath taking in real life! As for the sibling "shenanigans" I love it. It's so amusing, especially since I am not involved ;).

They decided to buy two 'sisters' charm necklaces the other day; they each have half of a heart that says "sisters by chance, friends by choice". The following day they were back to bating each other, sigh. xxAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007583111181817717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-9755345844477610132016-07-26T13:29:09.808+01:002016-07-26T13:29:09.808+01:00Every day I drive over a small but busy roundabout...Every day I drive over a small but busy roundabout and the centre is filled with the most stunning wild flower planting. It's an absolute riot of rainbow colours and I'd like to photograph it but I don't think it's possible - it's a bit too inaccessible! <br /><br />I hope the holidays are treating you well and the boys are being lovely to each other.

My son is working at camp with the 4 and 5 year olds and says they are big huggers. Having no siblings he has been bathing in this sweet affection. I love the stories of the intense games of tag.<br /><br />I started wheezing thinking about walking up the hill. hehe.elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-35728462536172743932016-07-22T21:46:44.113+01:002016-07-22T21:46:44.113+01:00Lovely pictures of the summer countryside!

Wonderful picture of the swathe of verge flowers (the council over the river from here have done something similar the length of one of the town's approach roads). In guerilla gardener mode (our councillors are still demolition focused), we scattered several packets of wildflower seeds locally. Not one flower.
