I totally understand the disappointment of expecting Romans with toga, I went to see a Greek tragedy and they were all wearing suits and dresses! Never mind it was with Ralph Fiennes, I felt disappointed all the same. It looked they were all in a cocktail party but without small talk. Love your posts.

Lovely to be back in blogland and catching up on all your news. The books on cut flowers in your previous post especially caught my attention. I definitely think it's a weather thing in regards to photo taking as I seem to be doing the opposite right now and it's Summer here - too many photos probably and not enough writing!

I love how you've used strips of fabric and such lovely colours you've chosen! <br />I don't seem to be taking many photos either, I think like you say its more time spent indoors. I definitely take more out and about photos in the spring and summer. Starting project life has made me realise how little I take of the kids and of just everyday stuff. <br />The bird photos taken by your boy are wonderful, and how interesting to see what was found in the owl pellet, the vole skull looks tiny!
