Blue' Coloured Thursday - KIWI!
When playing any meme, it's always wise to get ones 'prompt' facts correct.
For some strange reason, till gently put right, I'd got Burgundy on my mind rather than KIWI - maybe it was because I've been enjoying tippling on red wine!!!
Anyway, had to really think about KIWI as a colour as to me, it's more a delicious fruit...
I remember clearly, my very first taste in the early 1970's of this then new luxury item, also called a Chinese Gooseberry here!!!
I was @ Technical College, my friend & I each bought one to try, and with a 'borrowed' knife from the college canteen carefully peeled back the furry coat to reveal lush brilliant green sweet succulent flesh - have loved them ever since!

As @ the moment I'm sort of living the life of a hermit, have regrettably not been down to the Covered Market's fruit stands to purchase some to photograph for today & then eat with pleasure; so it's local KIWI greens in nature looking lush after the recent continuing rains that I'm featuring instead...
I do have a KIWI coloured cake though from the Celebration Cake Shop's window - taken this year & not previously posted [I think?]...
As lately my blogging has been more miss than hit, KIWI as in New Zealander & not as in green friends Doyle & Mollie [who I suspect picked picked this weeks colour :)] have taken up the slack re me failing to post on 'True Colours Thursday' - they with my blessing now host the 'Blue's Coloured Thursday' meme HERE!

PURPLE!

It's a year since PURPLE had an outing which is surprising as TCT has now being running for 19 months!
Please do remember suggestions for forthcoming colours would be extremely welcome.

On a walk to town last month I fortunately found a PURPLE car - very well polished by the rain pools on it's bonnet...Dreamingspires favoured means of transport with students with a speedy PURPLE look...And dark Lilac buds - just love the fragrance...

This very PURPLE party frock's from a 'window shopping' trip last Autumn - once upon a time I could have worn it too, now I'll just keep to that classic string of Pearls...PURPLE's also the colour of religion - as seen here giving out Christmas Chocolate money one Saturday last December... As for the cake, that shop's window showcased this one a while ago...

Next week is colour is MANGO as suggested by Doyle & Mollie.

GINGER!

Low & behold, I'm on my fourth week of staying with friends - I must be a good worker as they keep extending my visit

Now Welsh Terriers are really Black & Tan, but Taffy's paws certainly look GINGER in the sunshine...

As does his snout when thrust into my lap...And then there are his homemade doggie biscuits, not GINGER flavoured I might add...While the wood in the Log Roll edging of the shingle pathway I'm helping lay seems GINGERish in colour...

Once upon a time, Boulin was my pretty friendly GINGER tabby pussycat neighbour - she'd only drink water...

This pottery figurine I gave to GINGER Jasper's mum friend Carol to say 'Thank-you' for all the postcards she sends me...

And for my cake, what about this handbag with it's trim & handles...

RASPBERRY!

Apologies for this late posting, but I'm STILL away from home helping friends out and much to every ones consternation their Internet crashed earlier in the week, the Broadband connection was only restored fully earlier today.

Now unlike 'nephew' Taffy seen lounging in his RASPBERRY coloured bed with his RASPBERRY antlered reindeer toy...I've been kept very busy so opportunities for taking photo's has been zilch, so apart from this pretty floral jug...It's been a case of delving into the archives again this week.
From when Morris Mania was in Dreamingspires in April...Flowers, name unknown from last Summer...And a keen eye & a touch of imagination is needed for this weeks cake entry...Did you spot the individual RASPBERRIES topping the three cakes on the front plate of the teddy bears picnic???
