The wonderfully colourful image above is entitled

"Pete's Fairy"
I wonder, if you can see why?
It is the work of my friend Beth Stafford from
Art With Love From PiCassieO, who has kindly given me permission to use it.
Thank-you!

Two fer Tuesday - Flowers in the Park!

My quick offering for Jonna's meme are these showy Narcissus from London's Regents Park as seen on Sundays walk.
Spring has really sprung there...Friend H is keeping me busy helping her re-arrange her garden.
Whilst Molly & Taffy ensure there is always a ball @ my feet waiting to be thrown or kicked!
No time even for photo's.

The Taffster!

Now doesn't Taffy have a fine profile???
He's sitting patiently for boarding of the terrier mobile.
Report on Sundays walk activities to follow.

Monochrome & Odd Shot Monday - The Roof!

I have a facination with railway stations.
This is the glass roof of Victoria's, London, taken whilst waiting for my train to WelshAire Country...It seemed to lend itself to a combined Monochrome Maniacs - Odd Shot!

Saturday Photo Hunters - Stripes!

Till I saw host tnchicks prompt for this week, I'd completely forgotten my deckchair with its scarlet stripes...
Hopefully it won't be long before it's again gracing my patio.
Basking in the sunshine is a favourite pastime.
So, roll on Summer!

Postscript...
I did manage to see my doctor yesterday.
My Blood Pressure is up, a first; and she wants bloods & other things asap.
But, as I'm feeling more human this morning, I am heading off for cuddles from my 'niece' Molly & 'nephew' Taffy.
And, to participate in a WELTAF Welsh Terrier walk on Sunday.

Sky Watch Friday - Scarlet Dawn!

Aileni's fearsome sunrise posted for yesterdays True Colours, reminded I'd not shared this one of my own, taken recently from my bedroom window...
"Clouds come floating into my life,
No longer to carry rain or usher storm,
But to add colour to my sunrise & sunset skies."
Rabindranath Tagore - Bengali poet, writer
[1861 - 1941]

Now, I was supposed to be heading down to WelshAire Country today for a long weekend, but having again been laid low with yet another powerful headache & feeling of dizziness, it's to the doctors for me instead.

True Colours Thursday - SCARLET!

Now, I'm more than aware, that some individuals in my life, personal & the blog sphere, would consider this weeks colour exceedingly appropriate to me; as in their eyes, my relationship with Little Buddy, clearly marks me as a SCARLETwoman!
I've never made any bones about the fact that he is a married man & that I've been his Mistress, for now over 18 years.
Or, more importantly, that he is without doubt, the love of my life.
If that makes me SCARLET, so be it!
So, for fun decideded, to look amongst my things for items that match this wanton image of me!
Must confess, I'm deeply disappointed to find, I don't have much that lives up to it!!!
There is sadly, no SCARLET lingerie, flirty little dress or hot high heels in my wardrobe.
Have had to resort to shop window photo's for the last two...I do have the lipsticks, the shawl, a broach and the beads & earrings...Plus, for my travels to illicit meetings, my SCARLET sleep pillow and, now courtesy of Virgin Atlantic Airlines, the matching eye shields, pen & toothbrush and flight socks, all kindly modeled here for me, by Sir Woodstock...However, they're hardly raunchy SCARLET Mistress material - :)
I'm no Betty Boop...There are mind, my SCARLET photo albums contain many incriminating photographs...And, back in 2000 when Little Buddy & I were in Hawaii together, he did hire a smart SCARLET Convertible for us to tour the island of Oahu in.
Also, on that particular trip, my/our Lei, lovingly bought, contained fragrant SCARLET Carnations...
Plus - LOL'ing big time here to myself, as never a dream of mine.
But, if LB & I'd have ever married, this is the sort of wedding cake I'd have chosen, courtesy of the Celebration Cake Shop in Dreamingspires Covered Market, as I do love SCARLET red Roses...So, there you have it - the SCARLET side of Blue, take me or leave!

To participate in True Colours Thursday, all you need, is to post a photo/photographs & text, or better still both, on the specified colour of the week.
